PREFACE
The compilation of the Olmsted Genealogy has covered a period of
over forty years. The early portion of the correspondence of Dr. Henry
K. Olmsted with members of the family, relative to this enterprise, dates
back as far as 1870. From that period on, to the time of Dr. Olmsted's death,
he labored incessantly upon this project, as the bulk of his correspondence
amply proves. In later years the material gathered by Dr. Olmsted was
put into the hands of RoUin H. Cooke, Esq., of Pittsfield, Mass., through
whose efforts the work was somewhat enlarged. Mr. Cooke's lamented
death left the MSS. still incomplete, and needing revision. At the request
of Prof. Everett Ward Olmsted and the daughters of Dr. H. K. Olmsted,
the present compiler, Rev. Geo. K. Ward, of New York City, assumed charge
of the project, which is now carried to completion.
The Olmsted Genealogy is essentially an " Olmsted " volume, having
a larger proportion of descendants of the Olmsted name than is usual in
works of this character. This is easily accounted for by the indefatigable
labor of Dr. H. K. Olmsted, which covered a period of over a quarter of a
century. Since the death of Dr. Olmsted, in 1896, the family has increased
so rapidly, that the names subsequently received represent fully one quarter of
the volume. The collateral branches are carried down in many instances to
the present date. It is hoped that the volume may reach so large a number
of descendants not included, that a second edition will be required in the near
future, and to this end the compiler will be glad to correspond with any
families of the line who are not represented. The intense interest mani-
fested in this project from its inception, proves beyond question the loyalty
of the family to the Olmsted name and traditions, and is a sure guarantee
of its success.
In prosecuting this work, the compiler has been greatly aided by the
President of the Olmsted Family Association, the members of the Advisory
Committee, and many others whose names cannot be here included. Mention
should be made, however, of the hearty co-operation of Hon. Marlin E. Olm-
sted, of Harrisburg, Pa., First Vice-President; Mrs. Frederick Law Olmsted,
of Brookline, Mass. ; Miss Fannie M. Olmsted, of Hartford, Conn.; Mr. John
B. Olmsted, of Bxiffalo, N. Y., and Mr. Frederick S. Hammond, of Syracuse,
N. Y. The compiler is especially indebted to Prof. Everett Ward Olmsted,
of Ithaca, N. Y.; Mrs. Henry S. Stearns, and Mrs. John M. Holcombe, of
Hartford, Conn., for much of the information relating to James, Nicholas,
and Richard Olmsted, the early founders of the family in America.
Valuable data have also been furnished by a large number of descend-
ants, to whom the thanks of the compiler are due. It is a matter
of regret that so comparatively small a number of descendants have
responded to the call for family portraits. In the event of the pub-
lishing of a second edition, however, the opportunity will be afforded for greater
activity in this respect, and the descendants are earnestly requested to bear
this in mind, in anticipation of a later edition.
There are many Olmsted families scattered throughout the country
whose connection with the Hartford settlers has not been established. Some
of these will be found in their appropriate place in this volume and a constant
effort will be made, by correspondence and research, to bring them within the
family line. It remains only for the compiler to request that those who come
into possession of the Olmsted Genealogy endeavor to make known its
existence to all who, by reason of family ties, might be interested in the volume.
INTRODUCTION
EXPLANATORY
The reference system adopted in the Genealogy s the simplest that
has been found practicable, viz., the designation of each name by a single
number, strictly adhered to throughout. The inquirer has only to turn to
the index, find the number of the page upon which the desired name occurs,
and then trace it out in the body of the work. Where the name represents
the head of a family, marked +, the facts regarding that family will be found
upon a subsequent page under the same name in brackets.
THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF THE FAMILY NAME
It will be noted that with a few exceptions the famUy name is spelled
throughout the volume, " Olmsted." This method is observed for the sake
of uniformity, and following the custom generally approved by genealogists,
i. e., of using the name as most commonly spelled by descendants, as the estab-
lished name in the Genealogy. The compiler makes haste, however, to
explain that in many instances his correspondents include the " a " in the
1 ast syllable of the name and a number of these favoring the orthography to
which they are accustomed have written to ask why the " Olmsted " form is in-
variably used in the volume. As suggested above, the use of the two forms
would create confusion and mar the symmetry of the record. A similar
situation obtains in the orthography of other family names. The name
" Osborn," which is the one used in the Osborn Genealogy, is also spelled^
Osborne and Osburn. The name Reed is also spelled Reid, Read and Reade.
In both the above cases, the bearers of the name were no doubt originally
of the same family. A great many other similar cases might be noticed,
but they will undoubtedly occur at once to the reader, so they are not here
mentioned. As to the Olmsted name, it appears under a great many different
forms both in this country and abroad, as witness the following: Almesteda,
Elmsted, Elmstead, Hamstead, Hampstead, Hampstede, Hamsted, Hemp-
sted, Hempstede, Holmestead, Holmested, Holmestede, Holmstead, Holm-
steade, Holmsted, Holmstedd, Holmystede, Homestead, Hompstead, Homp-
sted, Hompstede, Hownsted, Olmested, Olmestede, Olmsted, Olmstead,
Olmsteed, Olmstedd, Ownsted, Umsted, Umstede.
The compiler disavows the intention even to suggest any change in the
method of spelling the name to which the individual descendants are ac-
customed.
THE FIRST MENTION OF THE FAMILY NAME
The earliest mention of the family name occurs in "Doomsday Book" for
the County of Essex, in the survey made under William the Conqueror, in
1086. It appears as follows under "The Land of Suen of Essex" and the
"Hundret of Tendringe":
"Almesteda (Elmsted or Olmsted) was held by Robert Fitz Wimarc. Now
Suen (holds it), and Siric' of him, as 1 manor and as 8 hides. Then 14
villeins; now 13. Then 31 bordars; now 36. Then 6 serfs; now 1. Then
3 ploughs on the demesne; now 4. Then 19 ploughs belonging to the men;
now 18. (There is) wood (land) for 500 swine, 22 acres of meadow, and pas-
ture for 60 sheep. Then as now {semper) 1 mill, and 1 saltpan. Then 3.

rounceys (runcini), and 18 beasts (animalia), and 30 swine, 150 sheep, 40
goats, and 5 hives of bees; now 5 rounceys, 10 beasts, 32 swine, 190 sheep,
80 goats, (and) 2 hives of bees. It was then worth 9 pounds; now 10."

Constable & Co., p. 491.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FAMILY NAME
The parish of Ehnsted is in the Hundred of Tendring, Essex. Its name
is Saxon, " Elm " and " sted," i. e., the place of Elms, as being remarkable
for the growth of trees of that kind. In the record, it is written Almesteda
and Enmested.— From Wright's "Essex," Vol. II., pp. 759-60.
Holm: In local names in England is the Anglo-Saxon holm, i. e., water
island, low ground by water. In Sweden and Denmark holm is a small island,
as Stockholm, etc. — From E. A. Charnock, Local Etymology. Danish and Ger-
man, holm, a small island; Swedish, holme; Icelandic, holmi., i. e., an island.
Holm, a green plot of ground, environed by water, and just rising above it,
hence, meadows, especially near rivers. These are to this day called Holmes,
or Homes. — From Bosworth's Dictionary of the Saxon language. " The Icelandic
is the same language as the old Danish. The Icelanders have retained the
old Danish in such purity that it may still be considered the living language."
— Bosworth. ^
THE OLMSTED COAT OF ARMS
The Arms which appear in this volume are recorded as being borne by
one Richard Olmsted, a man of some social standing, and his connection with
the immigrants, James and Richard, is pretty well estabUshed. They were
found in the study of the Rector of Dimmington, born abt. 1580, who was a
native of Felsted, Essex County, England, the headquarters of the Olmsteds,
after they disappear from Olmsted Hall.
Another Olmsted Coat of Arms is that of John Olmsted, of Stansted
Hall, in Halsted, County Essex. He was Master of the Horse to the Earl of
Oxford, A. D., 1518.
S. 3 horses' heads erased. Bits, reins and tassels, arg. ; canton, ermine.
Still another is that which is described as follows: " The arms of the
Olmsted Family are described by James Usher, who painted them, and
gathered a part of his information through his London agent from the College
of Heraldry in that city, and also from the collections of John Coles, who
flourished as a Heraldic writer and collector of arms, at or near Hartford,
Conn., about the year 1785, as follows: Ermine on a fesse, gules. Three
towers, argent. Crest, a Tower, sable. Issuing therefrom, a lion's head,
argent. Motto, ' Bes vivit que bene.' ' He lives twice who lives well.'
" Ermine signifies white, dotted with black figiures. It is an emblem of
unsullied honor, and indicates that the original bearer of the arms held high
judicial position. The towers indicate that some bearer of the arms was in
command of a Fortress. The lion's head is used in arms to denote bravery,
magnanimity and strength. The fesse indicates the belt of a Knight. In
heraldic language gules means red and is an emblem of courage; argent
means silver and is an emblem of purity; sable means black and is an emblem
of antiquity." It is well to call attention to the fact that the motto, used
with coats of arms, is not an essential part of the insignia, the bearers being
at liberty to select such motto as may suit their own taste.

EXTRACTS FROM WALKS AND TALKS OF AN AMERICAN
FARMER IN ENGLAND— FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED, 1850
(Edition of 1858, p. 349)
While in London I was one day visiting a library when the friend who
conducted me called my attention to a series of shelves, saying, " Here are
topographical and genealogical records, arranged under the head of counties —
is yours an English name? I have never seen it in England."
" Yes, I believe it is, at least our family came to America from England."
" From what part, do you know? "
" Essex, I have heard it said."
" When? " said he, taking down a book.
" 1630 to 1640."
" Yes, here it is, ' Manor of Olmsted in Bumpsted-Hetion, a moated
Hall. Maurice de Olmestede, and so forth; passed out of the family (name)
early in the fifteenth century; now belongs to Queen's College, Cambridge.'
Where is the ordinance map of Essex? Here. Let's see. Olmsted Hall only
about six miles from a station. Better go out there and see it, hadn't you?
You can do it in half a day easily enough."
The next day I went, travelling half an hour by rail and then taking a
chaise which by a drive of six miles brought me to a small village, with a small
ruinous church in a very ancient graveyard. I enquired for the parish clerk
and found him a cobbler, at his work. The records were locked up and the
curate was away. " Did anyone live hereabout of the name of Olmsted?"
" No." " Did he ever know anyone of that name? " " No, no man. There
was the old hall farm— Olmsted Hall, they called it." " Why? " He did not
know. I asked to be directed to it and found it difficult of access, by narrow
parish roads and farm lanes.
It proved to be a large, low and very commonplace sort of farmhouse
of stone (or plaster) in the midst of a level wheat farm of some 200 acres. The
family of the present tenant had occupied it for several generations. They
received me kindly and, when I told them my name, with some little excitement
and manifestation of respect, as though I had rights in the house. " Come
into the old Hall, sir," they said, taking me to the largest room — a low room
about 20 feet by 20, with a single low window nearly occupying one side and a
monstrous old fireplace, now bricked up for a coal grate.
" Why do you call it the Hall? "
" It always was called so. I suppose it's because they used to hold Courts
here, sir. The house used to be moated all round, but they filled up the moat
in front when the lane was built; that was in my father's time."
The moat still remained around the garden, or deep ditch, on which grew
an old hedge. At one corner of the house was an old yew tree, certainly
several hundred years old. This house, as a matter of record, was occupied
Introduction ix
by the Olmsteds more than two hundred years before the Puritan emigration.
After that period I found nothing of them in England.
I have given this account because the incident is so characteristic of an
American's visit to England, as well as because it shows what an historic
interest may attach to any old farmhouse in England.

the lands belonging to it do chiefly lie . . . the house is very ancient and
moated round; it was originally of the De Veres lordship of Bumsted Hall
and was holden under them by the Olmsteds, namely, by Martin de Olmestede
who gave lands to the fraternity of the Knights Templar at Little Maple-
stead (a Feodar: Com: Oxon). Maurice de Olmestede held it in 28th Henry

Clark who descended from Catherine, sister to William Skrene. In 1474 John
Cornyshe, Wm. Dayton and Thomas Garthe released to William, Lord
Hastings, all those manors which were lately the estate of Sir John Skrene.
Lord Hastings was beheaded and his property confiscated in 1480, about
which time Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of Edward IV., was endowing, as

1564, to Edward Felton, of Pentlow Hall, Esq., who, the next year, 1st June,
1565, sold it to John Holmested of Bumsted-Helion, Esq., who also purchased
28th Nov., or 10th Dec, 1571, the other moiety of John Scudamore, Esq. On
the 4th April, 1575, John Holmested sold the manor of Dynes to Wm. Deane,
Esq., and the manors of Horsdens and Caxton to William Alston. And

THE RESULT OF THE SEARCH FOR THE ANCESTORS OF JAMES
OLMSTED, SET ON FOOT BY FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED*
Mr. Briggs of London was employed in 1890 to search all available
records in order to ascertain the birthplace of the family of the Olmsteds who
came to New England in 1632. They were members of the Rev. Thomas
Hooker's congregation, commonly known as the Braintree Colony, which
fact pointed to County Essex. The distinguished genealogist, Mr. Henry M.
Waters, most kindly gave Mr. Briggs a copy of a portion of two parish regis-
ters, one of Fairsted, County Essex, the other of Great Leighs, in the same
county. The Fairsted register, given below, proved to contain the record of
the baptism of the children of one James Olmsted, the record of the burials
of several of his children, and of that of his wife, Joyce. This, without any
doubt, is the record of the Family of the James Olmsted who emigrated to
New England in 1632. Mr. Waters also found, in the adjoining parish of
Great Leighs, the record of one James Olmsted, who married in 1576 Jane
Bristow, and had baptized in that parish eleven children. The second son,
Richard, was baptized 22d March, 1578-9. James, the third son, was bap-
tized 4th December, 1580, and married 26th October, 1605, Joyce Cornish.
In Great Leighs two of his children were baptized and in Fairsted the five
others.
Mr. Briggs searched in Somerset House for all the wills under the name
of Olmsted and found among a great number of others that of James, the father
of James Olmsted, the emigrant, and grandfather of Richard, John and Re-
becca, and of Nicholas and Nehemiah — all of whom came to New England
in the " Lyon " in 1632.
He then proceeded to search the Subsidy Rolls. He found that James
Olmsted who married Jane Bristow had belonged in the neighboring parish
of Great Waltham, and that his father, James, had married there one Alice
(family name not found, but presumably either Hawkyns or Sorell). The
fourth payment of the subsidy (due 3d year Edward VI.) was not collected
till the 6th year of Edward VI. (1552-3) and in the return then made " the
widowe Holmestede " is found in the parish of Great Waltham " in the place
of James," showing plainly that he had died in the interval between 1550
and 1553. It seems to be proved that James and Alice were the parents
of the James who lived at Great Leighs, and died in 1595, and grandparents
of James, the emigrant. The Sorells and Hawkynses mentioned in the will
of " Als," below, both lived near James in Great Waltham. While the name
of William Olmsted is met with in the Rolls as owning lands in Felsted, thus
confirming the statement in the Harleian MSS., No. 6071, f. 319, British
Museum (given herewith) that the family of Olmsted, whose original seat was
Olmsted Hall, County Essex, had a branch established in Felsted. All the
above mentioned parishes are very near together. Some of the property
was freehold and some leasehold. Farther back than James — ^born probably
in 1520 — it has not been possible to go with certaintyt but there is every
probability that James, born in 1520, descended from one Richard Olmestede
*Toward thd expenses of the search, running over many years before Mr. Waters
set us right, Vice-President Marlin E. Olmsted, of Philadelphia, contributed $25, Rt.
Rev. Charles T Olmsted, of Utica, $10, and Mrs. Kate O. Beebe, a daughter of John
Olmsted, of Springfield, $10.
tThere is mention in the rolls of one James Olmsted, at Braintree, and Beatrice,
his wife, who may have been the parents of the James who married Alice.

Bartholomew Barber, thus bringing the record near to the time when the
" Hall " passed from the name of Olmsted. It might be possible to find

period, also in the Feet of Fines, relating to the transfer of lands in all parts

This was in 1894 held by Henry Homsted Speakman. Mr. Speakman did not know
how he came by his middle name, which is so like Olmsted.
The name of Olmsted under the form of Holmested is still known in Braintree,
County Essex.

Introduction xv
Remarks on the Foregoing Copy of the Harleian MSS.
The Holmestead or Olmestede family have not been found in Lancashire,
but they did occupy lands belonging to the Duchy of Lancaster, i. e., Crown
lands, in Essex.
There is no Felsted Grange, but Felsted Barton formed part of the pos-
sessions of " Sion " alienated to Richard Rich, 17th March, 1537.
Nicholas. There is a will recorded of a Nicholas Olmstede, 1578.
James, supposed to be the ancestor of the emigrant.
John Holmestead of Hawsted (Halsted) was master of the horse to Ed-
ward, 17th Earl of Oxford, called the "Spendthrift," and speculated largely in
the lands which that nobleman alienated. John Olmestede had three daughters.
Richard Holmested was the son of William Holmested, of St. Lawrence,
County Essex. His wife's father, John Hawes, was also of St. Lawrence.
Will of John Hawes is dated August 7, 1613, (see p. xiii).
Thomas Holmested, minister at Kelvedon, was the son of John Olmsted
of Felsted and Elizabeth Roo, his wife. His grandfather was William of
Felsted. He leaves in his will, 1647, property situated in Felsted to brothers
and kinsmen and nieces in Sawbrideworth, County Herts.
EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS OF WELCOME
By Prof. Everett Ward Olmsted, President of the Olmsted Family Associ-
ation, Delivered at E. Hartford, Conn., June 20, 1912
In the northern part of the Parish of Bumpsted-Helion, in the County of
Essex, England, stands a long, low, and very ancient house of stone and
plaster, once moated round. This venerable manor, Olmsted Hall, now in
the possession of Queen's College, Cambridge, is the oldest edifice in existence
with which our family name is connected. It was originally held by one
Martin of Olmsted, under the lordship of the famous de Vere family. In
1242 it was in the possession of Maurice of Olmsted. And so it passed down
from father to son for several generations.
By the early part of the fifteenth century, however, it had already passed
out of the possession of those of the name into that of a knightly family called
Skrene. Whether this was a family related by marriage with the house of
Olmsted or not, it has been impossible to determine. It is not unlikely to
have been the case, however. At all events, in 1474, this manor, together
with other estates, came into the ownership of Wm. Lord Hastings, and nine
years later, when he was beheaded and his property confiscated, Olmsted Hall
passed into the hands of Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward IV, who was
then endowing as second patroness Queen's College, Cambridge.
Such, briefly, is the history of the old Hall as far as we know it. But
what were the Olmsteds doing all this time since their ownership of the Hall
had lapsed ? Are we to imagine that the family was extinct or inactive ?
By no means.
As their over-lords, the illustrious de Veres, were engaged about this
time in the Wars of the Roses, in support of the Lancastrian cause, and as the
Olmsteds of later generations have given ample proof of their courage and
xvi Olmsted Family Genealogy
fondness for adventure, it is safe to surmise that some of our ancestors, at
least, rallied under the de Vere star round the banners of the red rose.
These were troublous times in England, but the private fortunes of the
Olmsteds were not entirely undermined by the affairs of state, for m 1565 we
find one, John Olmsted of Bumpsted-Helion, purchasing the manors of Hors-
dens, Caxton and Pentlow, formerly the property of Edward, Lord Wmdsor by
right of his wife, Catherine, daughter of John de Vere. And in 1576 we find
this same John Olmsted, Master of the Horse to the Earl of Oxford at Castle
Hedingham, making another purchase of considerable importance, that of the
site and mansion house of Stansted Hall. This John Olmsted, called the
" Spendthrift," was not one of our lineal ancestors, as he left only daughters,
but he was one of the blood, and his traits are not as yet extinct, I understand.
As to our direct ancestors, we have been able, by the aid of the church
records of Fairsted and of Great Leighs, to trace descent, with a reasonable
degree of accuracy, from one, Richard Olmsted, born about 1430, whose de-
scendant James married Alice and had three sons, of whom James, Jr., born
about 1550, by his wife Jane Bristow, was father of another James, the Colonist,
and of Richard, the father of the three young emigrants who accompanied
their Uncle James to New England, namely, Richard, John and Rebecca.
The cause of the emigration of our Puritan forefathers from England to
America is a matter of historical record, but it may not be amiss to recall the
subject here.
During the last half of the reign of Queen Elizabeth a great change had
come oyer the people of England. As Green puts it, " England became the
people of a book, and that book was the Bible." Even the love of pure let-
ters of the Renaissance gave way to the love of this book. It was in every-
body's home, and its influence upon the mind and conscience of the people
was amazing. " A new conception of life and of man superseded the old."
" Theology rules there," said Grotius, speaking of England .'shortly after
Elizabeth's death.
A certain gravity of demeanor disclosed itself even in the country gen-
tlemen like our ancestors, whose diversions before this had been of the lighter
sort, such as hawking, fencing and dancing. The brilliancy of dress of the
Renaissance disappeared. A more sober vestment characterized the Puritans,
and an increasing fondness for simplicity in all things, but especially in the
forms of worship. Most of the Puritans were undesirous of separating them-
selves from the Church of England, but they attempted to "purify" it from
within, and to simplify its ritual, which reminded them of popery. They
refused to wear the surplice, to baptize with the sign of the cross, to bow at the
name of Jesus, to make use of the ring in the marriage ceremony, and to
acknowledge the divine authority of the episcopate.
Elizabeth had tried in vain to force her people into an acceptance of the
church administration that she prescribed, and had gone so far as to execute
certain non-conformists.
Then came James, the hope of the Puritans, but, although educated as a
Presbyterian, upon his accession to the throne he "renounced the Calvinistic
sympathies he had cherished in Scotland," and turned a deaf ear to the pleas
of his Puritan subjects.
It was about this time that the Separatist congregation at Scrooby
succeeded in leaving England, and settled for a brief while in Holland, whither
a portion set sail for the New World in the Mayflower, landing at Plymouth,
Dec. 21, 1620.
Introduction xvii
Meanwhile, the Puritans remaining in England had fallen upon bitter
days, by the accession in 1625 of Charles I to the throne of his father. The
new monarch's chief religious advisor was Wm. Laud, Bishop of London,
and later Archbishop of Canterbury. This eminent but narrow-minded divine
was a formalist by temperament and education. The crude simplicity of the
reformed church was repugnant to him, and he determined to restore to the
Church of England the pomp and ceremonial that he deemed was its rightful
possession, as a branch of the great Catholic Church of the world.
"Bowing to the altar was introduced into all cathedral churches." The
communion table was given its pre-Reformation position in the chancel,
instead of the position it had occupied for more than half a century in the middle
of the nave. Most shocking of all to Puritan standards, diversions on the
Sabbath day were not only encouraged by Laud and his supporters, but every
English pastor was compelled by royal order to read from the pulpit a
declaration in favor of Sunday pastimes. Refusal to comply with these
and similar orders was met with fines, imprisonment, confiscation of property,
and even execution.
Such was the condition of affairs in 1630, when in the County of Essex,
in the neighborhood of our Olmsted ancestors, the Reverend Mr. Thomas
Hooker, a preacher of great ability and renown, was silenced for non-con-
formity. To escape imprisonment and worse, he fled to Holland. Indeed, it
was well that he fled, for he might have met the fate of another non-conformist
minister who was that same year "pilloried, whipped, branded, slit in the nos-
trils, and deprived by successive mutUation of his ears."
Up to this time emigration to America had been slow, and the colony in
New England numbered only some few hundred souls, but now the Puritan
exodus began upon ah unprecedented scale. Two hundred Puritans had re-
cently embarked for Salem. These were soon followed by eight hundred more
under John Winthrop. These in turn were followed by seven hundred more.
In all, seventeen ships had beaten their way across the seas before the close
of the year 1630. " Nor were these emigrants," as Green declares, "like the
earlier colonists of the South, 'broken men,' adventurers, bankrupts, criminals;
or simply poor men and artisans, like the Pilgrim Fathers of the Mayflower.
They were in great part men of the professional and middle classes; some of
them men of large landed estate."
Of the latter class was the family of our honored relative, James Olmsted,
who, together with two sons, Nicholas and Nehemiah, two nephews, Richard
and John, and a niece, Rebecca, arrived in New England, on the Lord's Day,
Sept. 16, 1632, in the ship Lyon, under Capt. Pierce, after a voyage of 12 weeks
from Braintree, England. There were 123 passengers, of whom 50 were
children.
" They settled first at Mount Wallaston, now Quincy, near Boston, but
in the course of the year, 'by order of the Court,' they removed to Newtown ,
now Cambridge."
" The recent settlers of Newtown," says Holmes, "had, while in England,
attended the ministry of the Reverend Thomas Hooker, who, to escape fines
and imprisonment for his non-conformity, had now fled into Holland." So,
as Mather, another contemporary, remarks, " immediately after their settle-
ment at Newtown, they expressed their earnest desires to Mr. Hooker that he
would come over into New England and take the pastoral charge of them. At
their desire he left Holland, and, having obtained Mr. Samuel Stone ....
xviii Olmsted Family Genealogy
as an assistant in the ministry, took his passage for America, and arrived at
Boston, Sept. 4, 1633."
He proceeded at once to Newtown, to take up the duties of his pastorate.
There the Brain tree Colony, as it was termed, abode until the summer of 1636,
when, dissatisfied by the form of government of the colony of Massachusetts
and tempted by the charm of this pleasant Connecticut valley, of which they
had heard reports,^ they "took their departure from Cambridge," and, in the
words of Trumbull, "travelled more than a hundred miles through a
hideous and trackless wilderness, to Hartford. They had no guide but their com-
pass;jnade their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets, and rivers,
which were not passable but with great difficulty. They had no cover but
the heavens, nor any lodgings but those which simple nature afforded them.
They drove with them a hundred and sixty head of cattle, and by the way,
subsisted on the milk of their cows. Mrs. Hooker (wAo was ill) was borne
through the wilderness upon a litter. The people generally carried their
packs, arms, and some utensils. They w^re nearly a fortnight on their
journey."
This brings us in our narration of the wanderings of our worthy family to
the beautiful city, near which we have met today to do them honor. The
family was soon to separate. Indeed, my own ancestor, Richard Olmsted,
who was a youth of 20 when he arrived in America with his Uncle James,
was now a young man of 24. That he was married by 1640 is more than prob-
able, for we find that by that date he had quit his uncle's house, and was in
possession of a home lot of his own. The records show that at a town meeting
on the 1 1th of January, 1640, a vote was passed, taking part of the lot of Richard
Olmsted for a burial ground. " This is the groimd in the rear of the First
Church buildings on Main Street," as Walker tells us, "where so many
of Hartford's early dead still repose." It contains a monument to the early
settlers of this city, and is worthy of a pilgrimage, if any of you have not yet
seen it. James Olmsted's lot was on Front street, not far from where the gas
works now stand.
However, as I have said, the family was soon to part company.
The wanderlust was upon them, and in 1651 Richard Olmsted, defying
the dangers of wild beast and Indian, struck still deeper into the
wilderness, and founded, with his family and with other friends, the town of
Norwalk.
There remains to me now only the pleasant duty of welcoming to this
meeting you, my kinsmen and friends, who have deemed it worth while to
check the busy looms of toil, and to ponder a little upon the courage, upon the
devotion to principle, and upon the love of liberty that characterized our
revered forefathers.^
1- James Olmsted is said to have been one of twelve men dispatched by the Colony
in the summer of 1634 to investigate lands along the Connecticut River.

The Olmsted Christening Blanket
FAMILY HEIRLOOMS
THE OLMSTED CHRISTENING BLANKET
By Miss Fannie M. Olmsted of Hartford, Conn.
When James Olmsted in 1632, with a small company of kinsmen in a
larger body of compatriots, turned, disheartened, from the civil and religious
questions that vexed their country, to face at the age of fifty-two the unknown
problems of her colonies in New England, he left a desolated home at Fairsted.
In the God's Acre of that " fair place " slept his wife and four of their seven
children.
Mary, baptized AprU 18, 1621; the mother buried April 21st; the baby
buried April 24th. The parish register tells this sorrowful chapter of the story;
and if only for this one association it is easily understood why there was brought
among the family possessions to the New World the christening blanket, or
" bearing-cloth," such as was used at that time for infants upon ceremonial
occasions.
This interesting relic is still in existence, having been handed down from
parent to child in the following direct line: — James* (d. 1640), Nicholas^ (d.
1684), Joseph' (d. 1726), Joseph* (d. 1762), Joseph' (d. 1775), Simeon" (d,
1803), Joseph' (d. 1861), Joseph, Jr., M.D.' (d. 1864).
During later generations the merciless theology had softened, which
prompted the baptism of children in church the Sunday after birth, and the
last person for whom the " bearing-cloth " was used. Dr. Olmsted, was eight
months old when carried on it to the First Congregational Church at Enfield,
September 2, 1821, to be christened by the Rev. Francis Le Baron Robbins.
The blanket is now in the possession of Dr. Olmsted's children. It is
of yeUow satin damask, not unlike cloth-of-gold in effect, handsome in itself,
but extremely trying to the infant complexion, which caused, perhaps, a fas-
tidious parent to deny the present owners the honor of making their first
church visitation in it.
It measures 45 by 32 inches, there being two breadths of the narrowly
woven fabric. A quilted lining once formed part of the garment, it is said,
but long since some thrifty ancestress, more housewifely than antiquarian in
taste, removed this moth-alluring feature, disclosing a seam " backstitched "
with exquisite nicety along the red silk selvedge.
Whose deft fingers fashioned it and what loom wove the rich textile we
know not. Design and texture suggest the Orient, and it is most probable
that a ship of the East India or the Turkey Company brought it from far-away
Persia or Arabia or India or China, whence came so many luxuries to the
English homes of that period.
The parish registers of Lees Magna and Fairsted are rich in baptismal
records of the family; a Christian lineage, we see, but here again the history
of the bearing-cloth beyond the seas is conjectural. Fancy may have play in
these matters, each dreamer for himself, the known facts are that by nine
generations of the same name the relic has been treasured in a Connecticut
home.
XX Olmsted Family Genealogy
The appraisers of James Olmsted's estate, John Steel and Edw. Stebbing,
neighbors not only in the " New Towne " now called Hartford, but in that
earlier " New Towne " which became Cambridge, note the item, " diuers
smale things in a trunke," valued at £Z. Was it the trunk that " Grand-
father Olmsted " kept for security imder the head of his bed, from which he
used to take the christening blanket to show to favored visitors of an earlier
generation than ours ? He was born May 14, 1776. His great-grandfather,
the grandson of James, died but fourteen years before, and intervening genera-
tions kept the story fresh. There was no chance in this direct and constantly
overlapping succession for memory to distort the facts, however few details
have been transmitted.
Christening blankets similar to this are not unknown, but they are un-
common. Governor Bradford's (1590) is still preserved, and occasionally
one that has enwrapped babies destined for worthy, if less eminent careers, is
found. The Olmsted blanket, however, is the only one known by the writer
to have been so long in the possession of lineal descendants. By them it has
been treasured in memory of an ancestor whose name is on the Founders'
Monument in Hartford's Ancient Cemetery, and whose earlier home was on
the present site of Harvard University. Thence, after passing a few years
peculiarly honored and trusted by the little community, James Olmsted
preceded his pastor and near neighbor, the Rev. Thomas Hooker, to the
Connecticut Valley, where the christening blanket has been at home for over
two hundred and seventy-five years.
THE OLMSTED TANKARD
Scarcely less interesting than the Olmsted Christening Blanket is the
Olmsted Tankard, which is said to have been brought over also from England
in the good ship " Lyon " in 1632, and which is held to be the " one woodden
cuppe " mentioned in the inventory of the estate of James Olmsted. It is
now in the possession of his descendant, Mr. Ralph Wm. Cutler, of Hartford,
Conn. It is made of white cedar, with handle and cover of white pine and
hoops of split willow.
Such tankards were occasionally brought to America by the early colonists,
but only a few of them are still in existence. For its age, its unusual beauty
of outline, and the memories that attach to this old cedar " cuppe," from
which the Olmsteds may have drunk to the success of their quest for liberty
in a new land, before setting out from their English home, we prize the Olmsted
Tankard.

James Olmstedd
From the New England Hist. & Genealogical Register. Vol. XIV, pp. 300-301.
The family were Puritans, and James Olmsted came to New England
with two sons, two nephews and a niece, in the ship Lyon, Capt. Pierce, which
arrived at Boston, Mass., on the Lord's Day, Sept. 16, 1632, with 123 passen-
gers, of whom 50 were children, after a voyage of 12 weeks from Braintree,
England.
They settled first at Mount WoUaston, now Quincy, near Boston, but
in the course of the year, " by order of the Court they removed to New Town,
now Cambridge, where James Olmsted had his house lot on the northerly
side of Harvard St., upon or near the spot occupied by what has long been
known as the ' President's House,' now called the Wadsworth House. This
was the second piece of land acquired by Harvard College.
" James Olmsted was made a freeman Nov. 6, 1632, and was chosen
Constable by a popular vote (the first one so chosen) Nov. 3, 1634. At a
general meeting of the whole town, Feb. 3, 1634-5, it was agreed upon by a
joint consent that seven men should be chosen to do the whole business of
the town, and so continue until the first Monday in November next, and until
new men be chosen in their room; so there were then chosen John Haynes,
Symon Bradstreat, John Taylcott, William Westwood, John White, William
Wadsworth and James Olmsted. Also there was chosen to join (with) James
Olmsted, Constable, John Benjamin, Daniel Denison, Andrew Warner and
6 Olmsted Family Genealogy
William Spencer, which five according to the order of Court (shall) survey
the town lands and enter the same in a Book appointed for that purpose.
It is further ordered that these five men (shall) meet every first Monday in
the month at the Constable's house in the forenoon at the ringing of the
bell."
The Braintree Colony, as they were called, after estabUshing themselves
at Cambridge, wrote to Rev. Mr. Hooker in Holland, expressing their earnest
desire that he would come over and take the pastoral charge of them. He,
in compliance, came, landing in Boston Sept. 4, 1633, bringing with him as
assistant Samuel Stone, and on the 1 1th of October he became their pastor.
" Being straightened for room they decided to move, and in the summer
of 1634 twelve men from the town in the Bay were despatched to examine
the lands on the Conn. River, then called the Fresh River. They were called
adventurers, and were the earliest immigrants to Hartford." James Olmsted
was one of the company.
Their report being favorable, " they resolved to begin several plantations
there. On the 15th of Oct., 1635, about 60 men, women and children went
by land towards Connecticut with their cows, horses and swine. They arrived
on the banks of the river at Hartford, October 29, 1635, O. S., Nov. 9, N. S.
Scarcely had they reached the place of their destination before the winter
was upon them in great severity. Their Vessels in which they had embarked
their furniture and provisions had either been wrecked on the coast, or were
frozen in at the mouth of the river. Soon famine began to stare them in the
face, and to save their lives the greater part of the settlers were obliged, in
the depth of winter, to make their way through the wilderness, or around the
coast by water to Massachusetts. The sufferings of the few that remained
were extreme. The winter was one of great severity, and after all they could
obtain by hunting, and from the Indians, they were obliged to subsist on
acorns, malt and grains."
On the 31st of May, 1636, Thomas Hooker and his entire flock of about
100 souls took their departure from Newtown. They were a fortnight on the
way through the wilderness.
James Olmsted was one of the original proprietors of Hartford, and in
the Land distribution of June, 1639, he received 70 acres. That he was a
man highly considered in the community in which he lived is evident from
the prominence that his name occupies in the old list of the " Original and
early members (1633-1639)" of the first church of Hartford, in which list his
name comes twelfth, and in such illustrious company as follows: Gov. John
Haynes, Gov. George Wyllys, Gov. Edward Hopkins, Gov. Thomas Wells,
Gov. John Webster, Rev. Thomas Hooker, Rev. Samuel Stone, Elder William
Goodwin, Major William Whiting, Hon. Matthew Allyn, Hon. John Talcott,
James Olmsted.
In the Town Records, Mar. 25, 1640, " it is further ordered that James
Olmsted and William Wadsworth shall view the place Nathaniel Richards
desires for to set on; and if they see cause, to sett out a place for him."
James Olmsted's house lot was on the road from Little River to the North
Meadow. It was the main road from Windsor to Wethersfield, now Front
street. The house which James or his son Nicholas built on this lot was
standing until about 1835. There are now three brick houses on the lot,
not far from the gas works. He d. in Sept. or Oct., 1640, in Hartford.
First Generation 7
The Rev. Thomas Hooker mentions in a letter the death of James Olm-
sted: " Slept sweetly in the Lord, having carried himself gratiously in his
sickness."
From the will of James Olmsted an intimation is to be gathered that he
died after a very short and severe illness, during which illness his will was
made. After the death of his wife in England, he appears not to have
married again, as no mention is made of a wife in his will, nor is mention
made of any othSr children than Nicholas and Nehemiah. Among the
legatees there appears the name of Rebecca Olmsted, a niece who lived with
him at the time of his death, and who, says James Savage of Boston, came
over with him. To her is left a small sum that had probably been held by
him in trust. In an appendix to his will, two kinsmen are named, who, says
Hawley Olmsted, were doubtless nephews of James 1st. Mr. Savage also so
regards them, and advances the conjecture that they also came over the
water with their uncle. The names of these kinsmen or nephews were
Richard and John Olmsted.

Lumus doe make his word good to make my sonne Nicholis wifes portion as
good as any child he hath, for so I vnderstand his p^'mise is, but if he shall
refuse so to doe, I shall then refuse to giue my sonn any p'te of my moueable
goods, cattell or debts, but my will is to leaue the thing w'*" Richard Webb
and William Wodsworth to see my Brother Lumus doe p''forme his p''mise,
and as the said Richard Webb and Will' Wodsworth shall doe I shall be con-
tent. And if my Brother Lumis doe p'forme his p''mise, then my will is their
portions shall be a like, only Nicholis shall abate so much as I gaue him before.
And my will is that my sonne Nehemiah shall giue out of his portion ten pownd
to my Cossen Rebeca Olmstead that now dwelleth w"" me, and he shall pay
yt her w''''in three yeares after my dicease, and I leaue her to be disposed by
Richard Webb and Will' Wadsworth, and as shee shall carry herselfe, yt shall
be in their power ether to giue her the tenn pownd or to deteyne yt fro her.
I doe giue my searuant Will' Corby fine pownd, to be paid when his tyme coms
forth, and I doe will my sonne Nehemya to pay him out of his owne portion:
And I doe will that Will' Corby doe searue his tyme w"' my sonne Nehemiah.
And I leaue my sonne Nehemiah w'" Richard Webb and Will' Wodsworth,
intreating the to haue the ouer sight of him, and the disposeing of him as their
owne child. But if my sonne Nehemiah shall goe contrary in bestowing him-
self e any way contrary to the judgement of my two frinds. Rich: Webb and
Will' Wodsworth, then yt shall be in their power to comaund and take a hun-
dred pownd of his Estate, and dispose of yt as they thinke fitt. I giue to my
two frynds Richard Webb and Will' Wodsworth, w'" I put in trust, six pownds
and a marke to be paid equally betwixt the, and my two sonns shall pay the,
the one pay the one halfe and the other pay the other halfe.

Wee whose names are hereunder written, the frynds intrusted by
the decesed w'^rn named, haueing litell acquayntance w'" things of this nature,
and being by him suddenly caled hereunto, in a sore stresse and pang of his
sicknes, wherein he expected a p'sent dep'^ting, he being senceble of his owne
weakenes, hasted to an issue of this busines, did seuerall tymes desire vs to
aduise him what he should doe, and many times did wishe us to doe what we
thought meet o'selues.
Now we haueing since his disease, togather w'" his two sonns, Nicholas
& Nehemiah, to who he hath bequethed his estate, taken into more serious
consideration what is done, and obsearueing some things to be ouerpast, of
w'^" we are p^swaded that if ether they had com to his owne mynd, or otherwise
had then bine suggested by vs, he would redily and cherefully haue attended
thereunto: Wee therefore, togather w'" the reddy & free consent of his sonns
abouesaid, (well knowing, out of long and good experience, the disposition and
constant practice of their father,) hath mutually agreed, as desierus to fulfil
that w"" we conceaue to be his mynd, to ad to those bequethed w"" are spesified
w*in, these legases following:
That is to say, to his Kynsmen Richard Olmstead fine pownd, and to his
Kynsman John Olmstead fiue pownd, to be paid vnto them w*in three yeres
after his disease. And vnto the Church of Christ in Hartford, Twenty pownds,
to be paid at the same tyme of three yeres after the decease of there said father.
In witnesse whereof we haue sett to our hands.

Will' Wadsworth Nehemiah Olmsted
" This codicil shows that James Olmsted's illness was a sudden one, and
that between himself and his sons there existed so close an affection and sym-
pathy that after his death they gave bequests to his kinsmen and church as
they felt he would have done, and so honorably dealt with the disposition of
their inheritance, though not legally bound so to do. I like to note this sense
of honor in the blood, and think it has been transmitted unpolluted to their
descendants."'

James Olmsted was doubtless laid to rest in the Ancient Burying-Ground,
which is located back of Center Church in Hartford. He must have been one
of the first to be buried in this consecrated spot, which, less than a year before,
had been the home lot of his nephew, Richard Olmsted. There, among many
quaint and venerable stones, dating as far back as that of Rev. Thomas Hooker
(1647), there stands a noble monument, erected in 1835 " In memory of the
First Settlers of Hartford." This is the only monument on which appears the
name of James Olmsted, or that of his nephew, Richard Olmsted, the founder
of the other branch of the family in America. The name of the younger man,
as is just, occupies a humbler position in the long list of colonists, but that of
James Olmsted is given a place among the first and most eminent names of
Hartford. All those that follow are scarcely less illustrious, however, and
represent " the fountain-head of most of the pure streams which have carried
American national principles to the furthermost regions of this country."
*Lockram, — "a sort of coarse liDen." — Webster.

Nicholas Olmsted came to Boston and to Hartford with his father and
the family. Soon after the settlement of Hartford, it was evident that the
Indians were " jealous and seemed determined upon the destruction of the
infant town, and it became a question, either to abandon the country, or
conquer the foe.
" On the first of May, 1637, just eighteen months after the settlement
was begun, and when there were only eight hundred souls in the Colony,
the Court met and resolved upon an offensive war against the Pequots. On
the 9th of May ninety men were drafted and ready for the expedition.
" They embarked in three little floats that were to convey them down
the river, and on the 15th were at the mouth of the river, whence 20 men
were sent back to guard their own defenceless homes. On the morning of May
28th the little army, consisting of seventy-seven Englishmen and a party
of Narragansett and Mohegan Indians, was before the fort of the Pequots
at Mystic. Then began the ' direfxil fight ' in which, in one hour, 600 Indians
were slain and their power broken forever.
" In three days the little army was at home again with a loss of two
killed and twenty wounded. The Colony had peace for nearly forty years,
when King Philip's war began."
Nicholas served in the Pequot war, under Capt. Mason, and is mentioned
by him in his account of the burning of the Indian fort: " Lieutenant Thomas
Bull and Nicholas Olmsted beholding, came up; and when it was thoroughly
kindled, the Indians ran about as most dreadfully Amazed." — Bodge's Soldiers
in King Philip's War, etc., p. 13. Both Nicholas and Richard Olmsted, his
cousin, " received grants of land for services in the Pequot War." Id., p.
466.
Nicholas Olmsted was appointed by the General Court, with Thomas
Bull and Robert Webster, a committee to view and settle Mattatuck, now
Waterbury, and on April 6, 1674, made a favorable report.
"The Court appointed Ensign Samuel Steel, Ensign John Wadsworth
and Lieut. Nicholas Olmsted a committee to regulate the settling of a plan-
Second Generation 13
tation at Mattatuck. This committee was composed of men of note, who
bore honorable names, well known in the history of the Colony, and attest
the high consideration with which they were regarded. Lieut. Nicholas
Olmsted was a deputy in 1672, and in active service as a Lieut, in King Philip's
war." — History of Waterbury, Conn. (Bronson), pp. 7-8.
Nicholas Olmsted was chosen surveyor of highways in 1646; Townsman
for the North side 9 years, between 1653 and 1683; Corporal in the Hartford
Troop of Horse, 1658; freeman and list and rate maker, 1669; deputy to the
General Court in 1672 and 1673. Aug. 14, 1673, on a great appearance of
danger from the Dutch, troops were raised in the Colony, 160 from Hart-
ford County, and Nicholas Olmsted was appointed Lieut. King Philip's war
began June 20, 1675. In July, 1675, he was sent in command of the troops
to New London and Huntington on the occasion of an Indian alarm.
On August 26, 1675, he was made a Captain of the troop. The following
letters, taken from the Winthrop Papers, are of interest in this connection:
1st. From John Winthrop, Jr., to Fitz John Winthrop —
" Hartford, July 9th, 1675.
"Remember me to Leift. Omsted and let him know that his Wife and all
friends are well."
2d. From Nicholas Olmsted to Wait Winthrop —
" Dated, Petequomseut att Mr. Bulls. July the 10th, '75.
" These for the honnored Captayne Mr. Waite Winthrop, Commander
in chife of his Maiesty's forces of Conetecoote present.
" Sir, After my seruice presented to your selfe these are enform you
that ther is yet hopes of a compliance with the Indians, if they be tenderly
dealte withall; for. heare was yesterday seuerall to speak with Mr. Bull, if he
had binn att home, ther was one came for that purpose as he sayd; and much
desired to speak with your selfe, and promised to bring either Suckquame this
day or some other of his chife men to speak with your selfe. It is desired
that you would make what convienient speed you can, because night will
grow on, and tomorrow is the Saboth, and you will be put by of the opertunytye.
" Not else but remayne,
" Your bubble servant to my peuer,
" NiCHo. Olmsted."
Mr. Bulls' house was in South Kingston, R. I.
3d. From John Winthrop, Jr., to Fitz John Winthrop —
" Hartford, July 12th, 1675.
' "I am hasted and not willing to delay the post, and shall only add the
remembrance of my love, and your sisters and to Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Mr.
Bull and Capt. Hutchenson, Leift. Omsted and all freinds as occasion, and
^^^^- " Your loving Father,
" J. Winthrop."
" Let Leift; know yt Mrs. Omsted and all his are well, and all at Capt.
Bulls."
4th. From John AUyn to Fitz John Winthrop —
" Dated. Hartford, Sept. 20, 1675.
" Majo. Treat was just marching as the alarm reached Hadly. He
presently sent Cptn. Olmsted wth about 60 men to keep them from passing
over the river.

Olmsted Stones in the Enfield Cemetery
To the memory of Joseph Olmsted, Esq., who, having served his genera-
tion according to the wiU of God, in several important Of&ces, civil and military,
he died in ye Faith of ye Gospel.
His body lies beneath this tomb
And shews whereto all flesh must come.
No state of worth, not grace can save;
There's no Distinction in the grave.
In memory of Mrs. Martha, the amiable ReUct of Joseph Olmsted, Esq.
Forbear to weep my loving friends;
Death is the voice Jehovah sends
To call us to our home.
Thro' these dark shades from pains redres't,
Is the right path to endless rest.
Where joys immortal bloom.

John Olmsted was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War. In 1769, he
was enrolled a member- of a Light Horse Co., then commanded by Capt.
Samuel Gates, but at the time of the fight at Lexington, Mass., April 19, 1775,
32 Olmsted Family Genealogy
he had been succeeded by Capt. James Green. On the receipt of the news
of the commencement of hostilities, Capt. Green requested as many as would
to repair to Boston to assist against the British, and a number arrived there,
including Olmsted, about the 10th of May, without their captain. There
being but few other horsemen, he was not attached to any military organiza-
tion, but was actively employed by General Warren in carrying orders, and
in guarding the coast by observing and reporting the movements of the enemy.
There was more or less firing on the British shipping in the harbor by the
Americans stationed at various points. When the enemy advanced to cross
the Charles River to attack the Americans intrenched on Breed's Hill, June
18, 1775, Olmsted was sent down to the sea coast to watch the hostile move-
ments, so that he was not in the fight of Bunker Hill and burning of Charles-
town.
After the arrival of General Washington he was employed by him as
express rider and in carrjdng orders from headquarters, and from one part
of the besiegmg army to another, until Oct., 1775, when he returned to Col-
chester. On the 10th of Sept., 1776, a detachment of about 20 men of the
Light Horse Co., to which he belonged, was ordered to join the army in West-
chester Co., N. Y., where they arrived Sept. 13, and he was put imder the
command of Major Backus, who divided the company into small parties as
guards and to carry orders. Major Backus appointed him a Sergeant in com-
mand of six men stationed at the Point of Rocks, where were springs, visited,
as appears, by soldiers from both armies. At another time he was stationed
with his six men at the large " White House " in Morrisania, then transferred
to " Throgg's Point," remaining there until a detachment of the British army
landed, compelling them to escape by swimming their horses across the creek.
This was one portion of the advance which preceded the battle of White
Plains in Oct., 1776, in which he participated. On the second day of that
battle he was accidentally met by General Washington, who said that " he
was the first horseman he had met since the battle commenced " and directed
him to remain by him, " obeying no one else." He was immediately engaged
in carrying orders. After the evacuation of Fort Lee in November, he accom-
panied the army on their march through N. J. and was discharged Dec. 1,
1776, which discharge was .signed by General Washington, delivered by his
aide-de-camp, who expressed the thanks of the Commander-in-Chief for
his services.
On the 20th of July, 1777, the Light Horse Co. was drafted for two months,
but was detained over four months, to join the Northern army which was
opposing the invasion of the army commanded by General Burgoyne, from
Canada. On arriving at Skeensboro, now Whitehall, N. Y., Olmsted was
at once employed by General Lincohi and went with him to Lake George to
prevent an advance of the enemy by way of that lake. He was sent several
times with orders to Castleton, Vt. Although present at the surrender of
General Burgoyne, he was not in the battle, as he had charge of a body of
prisoners, who had been previously captured. During the winter of 1779-80,
which was unusually severe, he was employed to take care of, and furnish
forage for, a company of Va. Dragoons quartered at his father's.

Capt. Gideon Olmsted marched with the East Hartford Company for
the relief of Boston, April, 1775. Six other Olmsteds also went with the
Capt. Gideon Olmsted
Sixth Generation 35
company. He afterwards commanded the privateers Raven and Sea Flower,
the sloop Hawk, of 12 guns and 60 men, and the brig Gen. Green, of 16 guns
and 100 men.
In 1778 he was captain of a French privateer and was captured by the
Enghsh sloop Ostrich and taken to Jamaica. Here, with three compatriots,
he was put upon the sloop Active, Capt. Underwood, bound for New York,
with stores for the British army. On arriving at New York the prisoners
were to be sent to the infamous prison ships at that port. The crew consisted
of the captain, mate and two sailors. There were three male passengers and a
negro servant on board. On Sunday night, Sept. 12, about 12 o'clock, Olm-
sted and two of his friends were on deck, an old sailor being at the wheel.
The watch being called, the other prisoner and the sailor came on deck. Capt.
Underwood and the mate were about to follow, when Olmsted and Clark (the
prisoner) drew up the ladder and told them they would kill them if they came
on deck. They then coUed a cable around the companion-way, Olmsted
being wounded by a pistol ball from below while doing so. The course of
the vessel was changed toward Egg. Harbor, N. J. Towards daylight those
below began to fire their pistols through the chinks of the cabin. Capt.
Olmsted ordered them to desist or he would fire a four-pounder into the cabin.
Capt. Underwood retorted, "Fire and be d — d." And they did, damaging,
however, only a puncheon of rum, and a barrel of coffee. Underwood, in a
rage, cried out that he would blow up the vessel. Olmsted told him he might
do it and be d — d; he was no more afraid of going to the bottom than they.
Underwood was about to fire his pistol into the powder barrel, when the mate
stopped him, and one of the passengers offered to pay all their losses if they
would cease firing their pistols. But they would not, and another four-
pounder was sent through the bulkhead. The foresail was then unbent and
lashed around the companion to screen those on deck; but, finding that the
rudder had been wedged, they cut a hole in it and fired a swivel, loaded with
thirty musket ball, into the cabin. This was the last shot fired. Capt.
Olmsted and his comrades now began to tear up the deck to get at the rudder,
when those below gave up the contest, hoping the Yankees would take a boat
and leave when near the shore, or that an English cruiser might relieve them.
They un wedged the rudder in this hope and things became more "friendly,"
and a quarter of mutton was passed into the cabin.
Early Tuesday morning the captors made Cape May and hauled down
their sails to avoid discovery by any chance cruiser. They were discovered,
however, by the American brig Convention, which showed British colors, and
fired upon them. The sloop was taken in charge by the Convention and her
consort, the Girard, and taken to Philadelphia. The cargo was sold for $98.80.
The U. S. Commissioners of Appeals awarded the entire amount to
Olmsted and his associates. The following advertisement appeared in the
Conn. Courant: "The privateer Raven, Gideon Olmsted, commander, now
lying at Rocky Hill in Wethersfield, Conn., wUl sail for a six weeks' cruise
within five days. A few gentlemen seamen are wanted, if they apply to the
Commander on board, within the above time. Sept. 11, 1780."

War record of Capt. Selah Norton, from the records of the U. S. Pension
Office:
"He belonged to a troop of Light Horse which was attached to a regiment
■of Infantry, and according to 'Connecticut men in the Revolution,' he turned
out as ensign for eight days on the alarm of hostilities at Lexington, Mass.,
but it is probable the Light Horse did not continue in service as such. Norton,
■early in May, 1775, accepted the position as Clerk and Orderly Sergeant in a
Company of Foot in Lt. Col. George Pitkin's regt. and was stationed at Rox-
bury for the siege of Boston. He was discharged there late in Dec, 1775.
During his service there, about August 1, 1775, he received intelligence of
dangerous sickness in his family and went home, leaving as his substitute
Aaron Olmsted, who was an officer. It is proper to state that the files in this
■office show instances of officers volunteering short tours of duty as privates.
Olmsted was or had been adjutant of the regiment and was of East Hartford,
Conn.
"Norton was appointed at the May session, 1775, of the Legislature,
■cornet in the 19th Regt. and lieutenant in January, 1778, and captain in
April, 1779. The Light Horse was composed of members from East Hartford,
East Windsor, and it is probable from some of the other adjoining towns.
He is alluded to as in the 4th Company and 2d Regt. by witnesses testifying
to portions of his services.
"He served 2 or 3 months in 1776, as cornet in the Light Horse in N. Y.
•City, and when the place was evacuated, Sept. 15, 1776, he retreated with the
army under Gen. Washington to White Plains, Westchester Co. Early in
1777 he, with the Light Horse, was ordered for duty in Rhode Island, and in
Aug., 1777, under Capt. Joel Loomis and Lt. Augustus Fitch, he marched to
oppose the advance of Gen. Burgoyne, at or near Saratoga, N. Y. In the same
year, or in 1778, he was on duty at Horse Neck in Greenwich, Fairfield Co.,
Conn. In August and September, 1781, as capt. of the Light Horse, he was
•escort to Gov. Trumbull, going to the headquarters of Gen. Washington with a
large sum of money to pay the troops of the State. One of these trips was
in August early, and another trip in September with only money for the
Conn. Troops.
"He was on escort duty in the latter part of February to March 12, 1782,
conveying a large sum of money to the army to pay Conn. Troops, as capt.
■of Light Horse."

Seventh Generation 59
" Sacketts Harbor, N. Y.
"Oct. 2, 1813.
" Dear Parents:
" I have only time to inform you that we are about embarking for Canada.
Our army from Fort George is on the way up the lake to join us. They
have abandoned Fort George, after destroying it, and the town of Newark.
I am happy to inform you that I am promoted from a 3d to a 2d lieut., from
last May, and by vacancies happening above me I am now a 1st lieut., and
have command of a company of 60 men. The conflict will be a bloody one,
and if I survive it, will write particulars (I hope from Montreal); if not, re-
member me as I deserve. I hope to sustain the honor of our family and name.
I am in high spirits and sure of conquering. My love to all our family and
friends.
" In haste, I remain
"Your obedient,
" Edward Olmsted,
" Lieut. 16th U. S. Infantry."

Epitaph on Sage Olmsted:
" Stop Reader; mark what pathos in the date:
Thy frailty read in my untimely fate:
Nor vigorous health, nor Nature's tenderest ties.
Nor Parents,' Partners,' Sisters,' Orphans' sighs.
Avail to save from Death his destined prey.
Or add one moment to life's closing day."
Epitaph on Mrs. Sage Olmsted:
" Let every one who may chance to contemplate this Tribute of Respect
to the memory of the departed, be assured that her example,
" Bids you be all that cheers or softens life,
A tender daughter, sister, friend or wife,
Bids you be all that virtuous minds adore.
Then view this marble and be vain no more."

Seventh Generation 65
" James Wadsworth grad. Yale, 1787, and in 1790 moved to the Genesee
country of western New York. He purchased a large tract of land in what is
now the town of Geneseo, N. Y. Was one of the wealthiest land proprietors
in the State. He printed and circulated at his own expense, pubhcations on
the subject of education; employed persons to lecture upon that topic, and
offered premiums to the towns which first established school libraries. As
early as 1811, he proposed the instituting of Normal schools. He procured
the enactment of the school library law in 1838; founded a library and insti-
tution for scientific lectures at Geneseo, and endowed it with $10,000, and in
his sales of land always stipulated that a tract of 125 acres in each township
should be granted free for a church, and another of the same size for a school.
His donations to the causes of education and religion exceeded $90,000." —

There is a peculiar circumstance in the history of George, the oldest, and
Samuel Hurlburt, the youngest son of Stephen Olmsted. The former left
home before Samuel H. was born. He removed to Allen Co., Ohio, where he
died and was buried. Samuel H. was born, and removed to the same place,
where he died and was buried by the side of George. These two, the oldest,
and youngest sons, never met, but died within a half mile of each other, and
were buried side by side.

A discourse commemorative of the life and services of Denison Olmsted,
D.D., Professor of natural philosophy and astronomy in Yale College, was
delivered in the College Chapel, May 20, 1859, by the Rev. Theodore D.
Woolsey, D.D., President of Yale College. In the course of his address
occurs this passage:
" I appear before the academical body, and this respected audience,
to-day, as the eldest of the acting colleagues of Prof. Olmsted, in order to pay
an official, but willing tribute to his worth and services. Not thirteen years
have elapsed since he stood the fifth, and I the sixth, in the order of seniority
upon our catalogue. Of the four elder members of the Faculty, one whom
I love to think of, and love to honor. Prof. Kingsley, was called away by death
a year after he had resigned his work of half a century in the service of the
college; and three others, whom age or infirmities had induced to leave their
stations, still survive, to show to the world how honored is the old age of a
scholar, who has built his life upon the foundations of Christian virtue. Prof.
Olmsted, the next in this series, presents an example of what has not hap-
pened before in our Faculty for more than a generation, (for Prof. Stanley
had suspended his labors a long time before his death) he died in the midst of his
work, with his armor on, actively engaged in his lectures through the last

term, and lodking forward, Just before his disease attacked him, to instruc-
tions during the summer. He had intended, for a considerable time before
his death, to resign his Professorship in the year 1861, when he should have
reached the age of seventy. But God's ways are not our ways. The tran-
quil shade of the evening of life, that harbor from care and toil, where the old
man of intellectual resources and Christian hopes can look forward and back-
ward without disturbance, was not allotted to him. He thought of rest on
earth, as the aged Christian may; but God did better things for him— he
gave him rest in Heaven.
" His family affections were delightful, and, united with his sense of
duty, made him an exemplary son, husband, father, and kinsman. His
children revered without fearing him; they were trained to exercise their
powers of thinking, and he was thus within the house their chief teacher.
Their characters rewarded his efforts; but alas, much more than the usual
amount of affliction came upon him from a chastening God.
" Between the years 1844 and 1852, four sons, graduates of Yale College,
blameless and exemplary in Christian life, giving promise of usefulness,
were snatched away by consumption, two of them in 1846 in which same year
also his saintly mother, at the age of nearly ninety, fell asleep in Christ. His
eldest son, Francis Allyn, found it necessary, soon after graduation in 1839,
to go upon a voyage in quest of health. He visited the Southern seas, and on
his return published a small volume on what he had seen, especially on the
Sandwich Islands. But his voyage was of no permanent use. He died
not long after receiving the degree of doctor of medicine, in 1844. The second
son, John Howard, was kept from College for some years by ill health, so that
he received his degree after his younger brothers, in 1845. He died but a few
months after taking his degree, in January, 1846, at Jacksonville, in Florida,
whither his commencing illness had carried him, and was laid by the side of
Francis. Two of the brothers, Denison and Alexander Fisher, were members
of the same class of 1844, and both appear as orators on the list of appoint-
ments for Commencement. Denison, second to none in the hopes with which
he inspired his friends, and having passed through college without strain
upon his constitution, seemed to have a career of eminence before him as a
natural philosopher, when he, too, in 1846, was placed by the side of his
brothers. The feeblest of them all, Fisher, with great care, prolonged his
life until 1853. He had repaired to a southern climate and taught chemistry
in the University of Alabama. Returning to New Haven he engaged in chem-
ical studies in the analytical laboratory, and published an introduction to his
science; but the malady only delayed its visit, and his monument records
that death again desolated this family in 1853. But Prof. Olmsted, some
time before these successive strokes fell on him, had known what the cup of
sorrow was. In 1829 his wife died, and the husband, with five little children
between the ages of five and ten, followed her body to the tomb."

Luman Olmsted came into the then unsettled state of New York in
the year 1800. He settled about one mile north of the present village of
Triangle. His early opportunities were very small, but he obtained a good
common school education, and taught school a number of terms. Necessity
required constant toil. The dense forest must be cleared up, and the new
land be brought into a state of cultivation. The young people of the present
day can hardly conceive what their fathers had to endure to turn a dense
wilderness into a cultivated field.
The aggressions of the Mother Country in 1812, aroused the patriotism
of his youthful heart and he went forth to perpetuate to succeeding genera-
tions the blessings secured to us by the sacrifices and blood of our fathers.
Peace being declared, he was discharged, but without any money to bear his
expenses home. He had to beg his way. By some he was treated kindly,
by others as if he was a miserable tramp, telling him " He had no business
to be in the army." He was a kind neighbor, and affectionate in all the various
relations of life. By the efforts of his son, C. S. Olmsted, Esq., he had just
commenced receiving his pension as a soldier of the war 1812. But he has
gone from the battlefields of earth and his name will be stricken from the
pension list, but:
" Each soldier's name
Shall shine untarnished on the rolls of fame.
And stand the example of each distant age.
And add new lustre to the historic page."
For 66 years he had been a member of the Masonic order. He was about
one year old when Washington was inaugurated President, for the second time;
hence he lived under tlje administration of every, president of the United
States. He was a voter when James Madison was elected President in the
fall of 1816. He was formerly a Democrat but becariie a Republican and
continued so till the close of life.

Samuel C. Olmsted removed to Cayuga County about 1815, and thence in
1828 to Chautauqua County, where he purchased land from the Holland Land
Co. His land was a tough, tenacious clay soil covered with a heavy growth
of beech, maple, ash and hemlock timber, requiring a great amount of labor to
bring it under cultivation. He found the work too hard and in 1836 deter-
mined to try his fortune in the West. Selling out his farm in New York he
removed to Michigan, arriving at Edwardsburg May 20th of that year. The
first sea.son he rented land on shares, and in 1837 he bought twenty-eight
acres of land and built upon it a house into which he moved in the Fall. He
later added to his purchase until he owned some two hundred acres. His
mother died in 1837 and was among the first persons buried in the Edwardsburg
cemetery.

Mr. Olmsted was a native of Genesee County, New York State, being
born and raised on a farm at South Le Roy. He continued in the occupation
of farming until he was about 30 years of age. At that time he moved with
his family to the village of Le Roy and engaged in the lumber business.
He was at one time one of the wealthiest citizens of that place. He
manufactured his own lumber up in Alleghany County and shipped it down
the canal. His retail yards were at Buffalo, Rochester and Lockport, and his
name was well known among the leading merchants of all those cities.
While a resident of Le Roy Mr. Olmsted helped found the Le Roy
Academy, a school for boys and girls, and there his children obtained a
part of their education.
For several years past Mr. Olmsted had resided in a pretty cottage home
which his son, J. G. Olmsted, built for him near his own home on West Grand
avenue. It was there that he died. He had always been interested in edu-
cational affairs, and was well read even up to the time of his last illness. He had
engaged in no business since coming to Des Moines, but enjoyed an extended
acquaintance through his long residence in that city.

100 Olmsted Family Genealogy
Kane County, 111., and three years later to Iowa. His father and mother
were Christians and active members of the Congregational Church.
His mother, who died when he was eleven, was sister to Joseph Colton of
Colton's geography and maps. He was converted in September, 1843, at
Fairplay, Wis., where he was engaged with his father in mining. He united
with the Congregational Church, and was an earnest and faithful member.
Desiring to obtain an education, he entered Wilbraham (Mass.) Academy,
and had for his instructors such men as Miner Raymond, Oliver Marcy,
and Geo. M. Steele. Here he remained for six years, studying hard and
paying his own way. Among the students at this time were Fales H.
Newhall, Bishop H. W. Warren, and Wm. Aug. Smith. On leaving school
he taught for several years at Georgetown, near Washington, and then
returned west, to Geneva, 111. He began his career as a preacher under
the presiding-eldership of Rev. S. P. Keyes, in the Rock River conference.

(1076) JOHN OLMSTED, Springfield, Mass. b. June 1, 1820; m. July 4,
1842, Rhodelia E. Langdon; b. Apr. 8, 1822; d. Sept. 29, 1891; dau. of Calvin
and Sybil (Pease) Langdon, of Somers, Conn. In 1902, he was president of
Springfield Electric Street Railway Company, and for many years has been
one of the most active men in the business world of Western Massachusetts.
His mother was a daughter of Ensign John Russell, who fought and gained
his title in the Revolution. The Russells were of English origin. Mr. Olm-
sted's earlier education was obtained in the public schools of Enfield, supple-
mented by courses at Wilbraham and Westfield Academies. When twenty
years of age he was a manufacturer of tinware, and a dealer in paper stock in .
his native town. He continued in this business for about twelve years. About
this time he bought an attractive place in Somers, Conn., andresided there
until 1860, when he removed to Springfield, Mass., where he has since lived.
He formed a partnership with Lewis H. Taylor, in the business of cotton
batting, cotton waste, and paper stock. In 1880, Mr. Frank E. Tuttle became
associated with him and the business grew so rapidly that in 1888 it was
removed to Chicopee and organized as a stock company under the firm name
of the Olmsted and Tuttle Company. Mr. Olmsted was the first president
of this company, but in 1898 he sold his interest in the stock. He early became
connected with the Springfield Street Railway Company and was at first a
stockholder. He has been president for twenty-five years. Under his ad-
ministration the capital stock has been increased from fifty thousand to a
million and a half dollars. Mr. Olmsted has been an excellent manager, both
for his fellow-stockholders and for the public, who have better accommoda-
tions than are furnished any other city of the size.
In politics Mr. Olmsted was a Republican. He has never been an office
seeker and has been a very reluctant office taker. He has served in both
<S^i-ii^i.6c:z^
Eighth Generation 103
branches of the city council. In 1883 he was a representative to the General
Court. No man stands higher in the local business world than does Mr.
Olmsted. His word passes unchallenged, for whatever he promises he will
perform. He has borne no small part in the material development of Spring-
field. He is president of the Northampton Street Railway Company and of
the First National Bank of this city, and he is a director of the United
Electric Light Company, of the Indian Orchard Company, of the Hodges
Fiber Carpet Company of Indian Orchard, of the Holyoke Street Railway
Company and of Oak Grove cemetery, and vice-president of the City
Library Association. He is the possessor of a good private library. Mr.
Olmsted has been a deep and earnest reader all his long life, having for
over sixty years averaged about four hours' reading every day. He is parti-
cularly learned in the history and origin of the ancient religions.

(1132) FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED, A. M., LL. D., Brookline, Mass.
b. at Hartford, Conn., Apr. 26, 1822; d. Aug. 28, 1903; m. June 13, 1859, Mary
Cleveland (Perkins) Olmsted (see No. 1133).
Mr. Olmsted was for three years a student of civil engineering, and later
pursued scientific studies at Yale College. He was then for two years a work-
ing student of agriculture, and afterwards seven years a farmer and horti-
culturist upon his own land. At this time he was already an ardent lover
of natural scenery, and for the enjoyment of it made many journeys, chiefly
in the saddle or on foot.
In 1850 he traveled in Europe, mainly on foot, giving special attention
to rural affairs, particularly to parks and pleasure grounds and the manner
in which they were managed and used. He was aided in doing so by letters
and advice of Professor Asa Gray, Mr. A. J. Downing and Sir William Hooker.
In 1853 and 1854, he was engaged in a study of the economical condition
of the Slave States. For closer observations of rural details, he traveled
a distance of more than four thousand miles in these states on horseback.
In 1856, he visited Europe again and has done so three times since, in
each case giving special study to parks and pleasure grounds, public forests,
zoological and botanical gardens and the plans and manner of enlargement
of towns and suburbs.
In the spring of 1857 he was appointed superintendent of the preparatory
work of the projected Central Park of New York. The following fall, in
association with Mr. Calvert Vaux, he devised a plan for this park, which was
Frederick Law Olmsted
Eighth Generation 107
selected as the most satisfactory of thirty- three plans submitted in compe-
tition. After the adoption of the plan, the designers were employed to carry
it out, and in order to weather political difficulties, were required to proceed
as rapidly as practicable. At one time they employed nearly 4000 men,
securing, under great local difSculties, a degree of discipline, efficiency and
economy hardly known on any other municipal public work in the country.
At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Mr. Olmsted was appointed
by the President a member of the National Sanitary Commission, and was
asked by his associates to take the duty of organizing and managing its execu-
tive business. In the fall of 1863, the work of the Commission having been
fully developed and the successful accomplishment of its objects assured, he
resigned the position and passed the next two years on the Pacific Slope.
He there served as Chairman of the California State Commission, taking the
custody of the Yosemite and Mariposa Reservations ceded to the State by
Congress as public parks. In 1865, he returned to New York and entered,
with Mr. Vaux, upon the general practice of Landscape Architecture. In
1872, his partnership with Mr. Vaux was dissolved, and he served for a time
as President and Treasurer of the Park Commission of New York, and was
afterwards their Landscape Architect for nearly six years. In 1878 he moved
to Boston, and in 1884 took into partnership his son, Mr. John Charles Olmsted,
and in 1889, Mr. Henry Sargent Codman, both of whom had received their
professional training in his office and had afterwards pursued studies in Europe
under his advice.
Mr. Olmsted has been employed upon upwards of eighty public recreation
grounds, among the more important of which are the public parks of New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Bridgeport, Trenton, Montreal, Buffalo, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Louisville and Kansas City. He has also had a large practice
in the laying out of towns and of suburban villa districts and private grounds,
and in pursuit of this practice has visited every State in the Union. He has
eight times crossed the Continent. He is the designer of the grounds of the
Capitol at Washington, including the marble terrace, the grand staircase
and other structures exterior to the main building; also of the general scheme
for the restoration and reservation of the natural scenery of Niagara Falls,
and in association with Mr. Vaux, of the plan now being carried out by the
State of New York for this purpose.
Mr. Olmsted is the author of the following works: " Walks and Talks of
an American Farmer in England," first published in 1852; it has been several
times reprinted, one edition having been prepared especially for the Common
School Libraries of the State of Ohio; " A Journey in the Seaboard Slave States"
—1856; " A Journey in Texas "—1857; " A Journey in the Back Country "—
1861. Translations of the " Journey in Texas " have been published in Paris
and Leipzig. At the outbreak of the Rebellion, a compilation of the last three
works was published in London, under the title of " The Cotton Kingdom,"
and was much quoted by those leaders of EngKsh public opinion who favored
the Northern view of the conffict.
In addition to the above books, Mr. Olmsted has written nauch on special
problems of his profession, which is to be found in various periodicals and in
printed reports of Park Commissions and other bodies.
Mr. Olmsted has received the honorary title of A. M. from Amherst
College, and both A. M. and LL. D. from Harvard and Yale Colleges; he is
an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects, of the Boston
108 Olmsted Family Genealogy
Society of Architects, of the London Metropolitan Public Gardens Association,
of the MiHtary Order of the Loyal Legion, and of the Harvard <^. fi. «. He
was one of the founders and is now an honorary member of the Metropolitan
Art Museum and of the Union League, and is an active member of the Century
Club of New York, and of the St. Botolph Club of Boston, and belongs to
many scientific and benevolent societies.

(1260) (Brig. Gen.) JAMES S. WADSWORTH, Geneseo, N. Y. b. Oct. 3„
1807; d. May 8, 1864; m. Mary Craig Wharton.
Early in the year 1861, the rebellion in the slave states of the Union
against the general Government found Mr. Wadsworth at his temporary
residence in the city of New York. The President of the United States had
called for troops to defend the seat of Government from spoliation and possible
capture at the hands of the South. In this hour of its extremity, Mr. Wads-
worth, in the impulsive patriotism of his nature, rushed to the country's,
rescue. With his own purse and credit, he furnished a vessel with a cargo
of army supplies, went with it to Annapolis, and gave his personal attention
to its distribution among the troops that had been hastily called to protect
the city of Washington. This assistance on the part of Mr. Wadsworth, ren-
dered in the impoverished condition of the public treasury, although afterwards
repaid to him, was none the less creditable to both his patriotism and liberality.
He now abandoned his private affairs to his agents, and devoted his entire-
energies to his country. As a volunteer Aide to General McDowell, he en-
gaged in the first battle of Bull Run, and by his courage and skill, retrieved
much of the disaster of that ill-fated engagement. In July, 1861, he was
appointed Brigadier General, and assigned to a command in the Army of the
Potomac. He was later the Military Governor of the city of Washington.
Under General Reynolds he was appointed Commander of the 1st Division, and
led this Division in the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. At
Gettysburg, his was the first Division engaged, going into action at nine in
the morning and remaining on the field till four in the afternoon. Nor was-
he of his family alone in his devotion to the public service. Three sons,.

Charles F., Craig W., and James W., followed him into the army. His son-in-
law, Captain Ritchie, also served in the early part of the war. If, in the
annals of time, an instance of higher patriotism and intenser devotion to the
honor of their country has been shown by a father and three sons, possessing
millions of wealth, and beckoned by all the allurements of ease and luxury
from personal danger, that instance has yet to be written. General Wads-
worth fell in the " Battle of the Wilderness." — The Wadsworth Family in
America, pp. 75-76.

York and Colon, S. America. The ships of this Hne formed a sort of auxiliary
force to the United States Navy and were commanded by naval oflScers.
Dr. Olmsted served under the command of Captain Porter, afterwards so
distinguished as an admiral in the Civil War.
On leaving the service the doctor returned home and settled in East
Hartford as a practicing physician. Here he married Anna, daughter of
Colonel Solomon Olmsted, his fifth cousin.
(It is perhaps not unfitting to note here a curious little coincidence. In
the celebration on the occasion of Lafayette's visit to Hartford during his
return journey through the States, the Governor's Foot Guard was com-
manded by Major Lynde Olmsted, the doctor's father and the First Regiment
was commanded by Colonel Solomon Olmsted, his father-in-law to be.)
After practicing his profession in East Hartford for ten (10) years, illness
in his family, which necessitated a change of climate, caused him to give up
his practice, and an incipient heart affection led him later under the advice
■of some of the most eminent New York physicians to abandon his profession
altogether. After several years spent in favorable climates the health of his
family was restored and he came back and took up his residence in Hartford,
where he lived until his home was broken up by the death of his wife and the
marriage of his daughters. His later years he devoted to the Olmsted Gene-
alogy which proved to be to him indeed a labor of love and in which he took
lasting satisfaction — a satisfaction marred only by the fact that he did not five
to see it published. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, Rev. William
E. Strong, in Jackson, Michigan.
Dr. Olmsted was a member of the Congregational Church and was for
many years a deacon in the Park Church, Hartford.

(1806) ADDIE MARIA OLMSTED, b. May 23, 1858, in Pulaski, Oswego
County, N. Y.; m. Feb. 20, 1879, Laurel Venen Stone, Conneaut, Ohio; b.
Apr. 7, 1855; son of Edward Augustin and Eliza Ann (Venen) Stone.
Mr. Stone was born near Conneaut, Ohio, upon his father's farm, and
removed to Vermillion, Erie County, Ohio, where for six years he conducted
a jewelry store. He is now in the same line of business in Conneaut, Ohio.
2963, Frank Edward; b. July 11, 1884; d. Dec. 7, 1909. 2964, John (Don)
Olmsted; b. in Conneaut, Ohio, May 15, 1886; m. Aug. 17, 1910, Jessie
Porter; b. Oct. 20, 1884; dau. of Samuel Cochran and Mary Louise
(Calvert) Porter, of Jamestown, Pa.
Mr. Frank E. Stone received his education at the Public Schools of Con-
neaut, Ohio, and entered the jewelry establishment of his father, as a watch
maker's apprentice, where he spent five years learning the business, and
became a master workman. Through his fondness for the water, he was
tendered and accepted a position as Purser of the large steamer, Car-Ferry,
M. & B., No. 2, which plies between Conneaut and Port Stanley, Ont., and
continued in that Office for two and one-half years, during which period he
accomplished the remarkable feat of having never missed a trip. While serv-
ing in this capacity, he studied marine books and literature, and during the
winter of 1907-8 he attended a nautical school in Cleveland, Ohio, where he
look the niate's, and pilot's examinations, and on being successful he was
promoted to second mate of the steamer, Car-Ferry, M. & B., No. 2 in the
•spring of 1908. He was the youngest man on the Great Lakes holding a full
commission as pilot. He was ambitious, and had he been spared, there is no
question but that he would have been master of some steamer in a few years.
When a small boy, he joined the Conneaut Fire Department as lantern boy
for the Protection Hose Company; later he was transferred to the Hook and
Ladder Company as a regular member, and was an Officer in this company
when he went on the Lake. He enlisted as a private in Company L., Ohio
l^Tational Guard, when organized, and rose in this organization, step by step,
until he had attained the rank of 2nd Lieut., which position he had to resign
when he went on the Lake. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity,
being a member of Evergreen Lodge No. 222, F. & A. M. He was raised in
the Methodist faith, and was a member of the First M. E. Church of
Conneaut. On the morning of December 7, 1909, his boat steamed out of port
with 32 men, officers and crew, and never reached port again, and the boat
as yet has never been located. Not one survived to tell the story of that
terrible storm. There were 14 bodies found that came ashore at different
places, but all hopes of having his body to lay away in the family lot in the
cemetery have been abandoned. But there will be a nice monument erected
■to his memory by his grief-stricken parents on their family lot, for they have
nothing but pleasant memories of him. He was a great favorite and was
loved and respected by all who knew him. He was in the 25th year of his
age, and unmarried.
Mr. Johnfl^ Olmsted Stone was educated in the Public Schools of Con-
136 Olmsted Family Genealogy
neaut, Ohio; grad. Conneaut High School Classical Course, 1904; attended
Allegheny College, 1904-5; grad. Cornell, 1909; degree of Civil Engineer.
Previous to his College Course, he was employed by the Pittsburg & Conneaut
Dock Co. at Conneaut Harbor in Iron Ore handling machinery; assistant
to City Civil Engineer, 1905-8; assistant Civil Engineer in Kansas State Agri-
cultural College, Manhattan, Kansas; instructor in this Institution, 1910-11;

Descendants
of Capt. Richard Olmsted
of Norwalk, Conn.
FIRST GENERATION
RICHARD OLMSTED, Norwalk, Conn. bap. at Fairsted, Essex County,
England, Feb. 20, 1612 ; son o£ Richard Olmsted, who was son of James and Jane
(Bristow) Olmsted, of Great Leighs, Essex County, England. His will is
dated Sept. 5, 1684. As appears in his will, he was married twice, but the
names of his wives are not known. His sons were children of the first wife.
He also had a daughter who had died before the making of his will.
3954, James +. 3955, John +.
Richard Olmsted came with the family to America, and until his mar-
riage was probably a member of his Uncle James' family; but of the date of that
event we have no record. He came to Hartford in the summer of 1636, with
the party from Newtown, Mass. He was one of the first settlers and pro-
prietors of the new town. In two divisions of land, he had in the proportion
of 10 and 8. His house lot was No. 49, and was on the west side of Main St.,
on part of which now stands the Center Church and the old burying ground
(the second one in Hartford).
The town bought the lot, as per record: " The 11 of January, 1640. It is
further ordered that the Burying-place is appointed to be (a) parcel of Richard
Olmsted's lot; and for satisfaction to Richard Olmsted for the said Burying-
place, and the fencing about it, he is to have a parcel of land lying at the North
Meadow gate; (the Cow-yard: containing about an acre and a half of ground.)"
" The said Richard Olmsted is to have part of John Skinner's lot, on which
the said John Skinner's house stands; and the said John Skinner is to remove
his dwelling house." " Richard Olmsted is to trans-sill his house that stands
upon the Burying-place and then the town is to remove it to the lot, the same,
Richard Olmsted receives of John Skinner." This lot of John Skinner's was
No. 48, next north of Richard Olmsted's lot No. 49.
One of the first persons buried there was probably his Uncle James
Olmsted.
From his owning a house in Hartford, it is probable that he was married
before 1640.
On June 19, 1650, articles of agreement were drawn up for the purchase of
" Norwalke," from Roger Ludlow, of Fairfield, Conn., and at a session of the
General Court of the Colony, the 26th of June, 1650, Nathaniel Ely and Richard
Olmsted in behalf of themselves and other inhabitants of Hartford, desired the
leave and approbation of the Court for (the) planting of Norwalk, to whom an
affirmative answer was returned Sept. 11, 1651: " it was ordered that Norwalk
should be a town."
Richard Olmsted moved to Norwalk in 1650 or 1651, as his name appears
in the deed of the Indian Chiefs dated Feb. 15, 1651. The land purchased
from Roger Ludlow comprised only the eastern part of the town. The pur-
chase price was fifteen pounds with some additional considerations. The
central part of Norwalk had been originally purchased by Capt. Patrick of
Greenwich, but the payment had never been completed to the satisfaction of
the Indians. The amount still owing, viz.: " two Indian coates and fowre
fathom of wampam " was made good to them and that part of the town also
acquired. The additional land secured from the Indian chiefs, Feb. 15, 1651,
" for the consideration of Thirtie Fathum of Wampum, Tenn Kettles, Fifteen
187
188 Olmsted Family Genealogy
Coates, Tenn payr of Stockings, Tenn Knifes, Tenn Hookes, Twenty Pipes,
Tenn Muckes, and Tenn needles " comprised the western part of Norwalk. In
a table of original grants of home lots to the first settlers of Norwalk, 1652,
appears the name of Richard Olmsted and a description of his home lot: 4
acres and 1 rood. Lots 15 and half of 17, with 219 acres commonage. In the
"estate of lands and accommodations " of Norwalk in 1655 he is credited
with ^219.
Mr. Selleck, in his History of Norwalk (p. 24), says: "It speaks well for the
new company's enterprise and loyalty that it was able to send its maiden
delegate, Richard Olmsted, to Hartford, even as early as May, 1653."
"To make it personal, it is recorded that the day after the Court sat, Rich-
ard Olmsted was appointed Sergeant, and deputed to 'exercise' the Norwalk
soldiers and 'to examine their arms.'
"Richard Olmsted bore the test of power well, and his first year as Rep-
resentative was supplemented by a ' dozen other sessions to 1679.' "
Richard Olmsted must have been living as late as July 8, 1686, for his
name appears in a patent bearing that date, by which patent the original pur-
chase of lands from the Indians for the site of Norwalk is confirmed by the
Governor and General Court of Connecticut.
His Civil Services
In 1646, Constable in Hartford.
In 1649, Fence viewer in Hartford.
In 1653, Deputy of Norwalk to the General Court at Hartford.
In 1656, appointed by the General Court, Leather seller, for Norwalk.

towns of Stratford and Fairfield, with the Indians, relative to lands.
May 17, 1660, he was appointed Grand Juror for Norwalk.
Oct. 4, 1660, Deputy to the General Court at Hartford. He was chosen
Deputy of Norwalk to the General Court a dozen times between 1660 and 1679.
In 1664, " The Court appointed Mr. Campfield, Deacon More, Mr. Fayre-
child, Mr. Hull and Lt. Olmsted a committee to ripen the business respecting
the Calf in controversie between Mr. Lord and Danl. Cone who returned that
they having viewed the Sayd beast, and the evidences of both sides, doe judge
it to be Mr. Lord's steare. The Court confirms this determination that the
stear doth belong to Mr. Lord."
At a General Court, held at Hartford, called by the Governor, July 6,
1665, it was announced that the Court has been advised by his Majesty's
order, that DeRuyter is likely to assault the Colonies, and that his Majesty
had made known his pleasure that the Colonies should put themselves in a
posture of defense. The Court ordered that each plantation in the Colony
should consider some way to discover the approach of the enemy, and ap-
pointed Committees, to act generally in this matter from each town.
Lt. Olmsted appears on the Committee appointed to represent the Colony
or that part between Stratford and Rye.
Oct. 12, 1665, he was appointed to view the lands appertaining to Hast-
ings and Rye, for a new plantation.

He was a soldier in King Philip's War, fiom June, 1675 to 1676.

In 1681, Capt. Richard Olmsted was appointed one of the Committee
to order and dispose of the affairs of the plantation upon the Hop Ground
(now Bedford, in Westchester County, N. Y.).
From all this it appears, that in conjunctions of special difficulty and
danger, requiring great intrepidity, integrity and sound judgment, he had
the confidence of the Colony and his townsmen to a high degree.
Richard Olmsted was in 1659 one of a Committee of four, appointed by
the General Court, to lay out 80 acres on Golden Hill, in Bridgeport, Conn., as
a permanent dwelling place for the Indians. His wife was in Hartford in
July, 1672, being sick with fever and ague, as appears from a letter from
John Winthrop, Jr., to Waite Winthrop, Esq.

REBECCA OLMSTED (sister of Richard and John), m. Thomas Newell,
of Farmington, Conn., (Freeman 1669; d. Sept. 13, 1689). His estate of /700
was divided in 1689. She came with her uncle, James Olmsted, to America,
and was a member of his family until after his death in 1640; was en-
rolled member of the Farmington Church, July 12, 1663. She was a legatee
of Dr. John Olmsted's widow. She died Feb. 24, 1698.

(Dr.) JOHN OLMSTED, Hartford, Conn., (brother of Richard and Rebecca).
He came with the family to America in 1632, and was doubtless a member of
his uncle James Olmsted's family at Newtown, Mass., and at Hartford, Conn.
Removed soon to Saybrook, Conn., thence in 1660 to Norwich, Conn. Was
freeman, 1662; Surgeon of part of the forces in King Philip's War; married
Elizabeth; dau. of Matthew Marvin; was a recipient of land by will of Joshua
Uncas in 1675. His will was probated Sept. 22, 1686; made not long before,
though, he himself only 60 years of age, which no doubt was by several years
too small a reckoning. He left most of his large estate to his brother and sis-
ter. No children are mentioned in the will.

Capt. James Olmsted was Town Clerk of Norwalk, Conn., for 29 years,
from 1678 to 1707 and again in 1721. He was also Town Judge, and repeatedly
a Deputy to the General Court at Hartford. In fact, he was one of Norwalk's
most eminent and influential citizens. In 1671 he was chosen Selectman. In
1673 in " The Estates of Lands and Accommodations of ye Towne of Nor-
walk," James Olmsted is credited with ;^50. In 1680 he was made Lieut. From
1682 to 1685 he was again Selectman. On Jan. 16, 1694, he was chosen by the
town to select a minister, and on Oct. 8, 1697, he was chosen " for to signifie
unto the Reverend Elders at the time of ordination, the good agreement of the
towne with the church in the ordayning of Rev. Mr. Steven Buckingham."
On Jan. 4, 1702-03, we find the name of James Olmsted as Justice and Recorder,
affixed to a document, in which the town of Norwalk lays claim to " several!
Islands lying adjacent to their township . . . namely Cockenoes Island
known by the sayd name, and Mamachimons Island, and the Long Island,
and Camfield's Island, known by sayd names, and all other Islands lying in or
adjacent unto the towneshipp of Norwalk." In 1706, he was a member of a
committee to seat the church, " the sayd committee to order and determine that
matter according to their best discretion; they to have respect to age, quality,
and the estates of persons in the publique list, and the towne to abide their
determination." By vote of Dec. 11, 1723, the town of Norwalk granted to
Capt. Samuel Hanford the right " to sit in ye pue with Captain Olmsted and
Captain Piatt," evidently a privilege to be desired, as his seat in the church
was one of honor.

Fifth Generation 207
In his boyhood, June, 1776, Lemuel Olmsted entered the Continental
Army, in Col. Philip Burr Bradley's battalion; was taken prisoner and confined
in the prison ship in New York harbor, where his health was seriously
undermined. He fortunately escaped with his life, and after recruiting his
health for a short time, re-entered the service and continued to the end of
the war. The family of Silence Weed, his wife, were from Glasgow, Scotland.
She was well educated, and remarkable for beauty, grace and good sense.
After his marriage he first settled in Danbury, Conn., removing thence
in the early Spring of 1786 to Stillwater (afterwards Malta), Saratoga County,
N. Y., and settled about a mile north of Round Lake in that county. Not-
withstanding his impaired health, he was an active and influential pioneer,
and raised a family of sturdy and self-reliant children, who survived to praise
him. His widow survived him many years, living on the homestead which
her husband had carved out of the wilderness. She was buried beside him.

War Record of Ebenezer Olmsted
From a declaration made by Esther Olmsted on the 11th day of Aug.,
1838, when applying for the benefit of the act of Congress of July 4, 1836, in
favor of the Widows of the Soldiers of the Revolution.
" That She is the widow of Ebenezer Olmsted who enlisted as Sergeant
in the company of Captain Mead, in Col. Waterbury's Regiment in the Spring
of the year 1775,, on which occasion he marched immediately to the
North against Ticonderoga — that in the ensuing year he served as Ensign in
the company of Captain Gamaliel Northrop, and in the year following, namely,
1777,' he served as Lieutenant in the Connecticut line in Col. Philip B. Brad-
ley's Regiment; that at the period of his entering the service in 1775 said
Ebenezer Olmsted resided in Ridgefield in the County of Fairfield and State
of Connecticut, that he entered as a volunteer as a Sergeant and acted as
clerk of the Company; that during his continuance in the service of his Country,
in addition to the affair of Ticonderoga above stated, he fought in the battles
of Long Island, White Plains, Ridgefield and Germantown. At German-
town he was wounded; that he was encamped with the Army at Valley Forge,
and that in the month of January, 1779, he lay encamped with that part of
the army which lay at Redding, Conn., distant from Ridgefield where the
declarant then resided about 8 miles; that said Olmsted came over from the
army at Redding and was married to this declarant on Sunday, on the 17th
day of January aforesaid, and returned back to the army on the following
210 Olmsted Family Genealogy
morning and continued to serve in the army until the following Spring, when he
returned to Ridgefield, and there continued to reside and keep house until
his death which occurred in 1801, turning out on every alarm which took

County, N. Y.; b. 1786; d. 1861. He was a Methodist Clergyman of the Old

It being in contemplation to erect at Fort Edward, N. Y., an institution
on a grander scale than any existing boarding seminary, the principal of Fort
Plain seminary. Rev. Elijah King, was invited to visit the town with a view to
give his advice in the proposed enterprise. In connection with Rev. Henry
B. Taylor he matured the plans, assisted at the laying of the corner stone in
May, 1854, and was induced to assume the principalship of Fort Edward
Institute for a term of 10 years. Dec. 7, 1854, he opened the first term with
500 students in attendance, and during the 23 years of its subsequent history,
he has been its sole principal, registering over 10,000 different names, hailing
from over 33 of the States of the Union. Many of his students have taken
conspicuous places among the successful men and women of this generation.
Over 100 of his students joined in the war for maintaining the Union, of whom
18 gave their lives that the nation might not die. A few of his young men also
fought on the Confederate side. He has sent out 165 clergymen of the various
denominations, of whom already two have become Doctors of Divinity. The
lawyers and physicians have been almost as numerous. The Institute has
had one representative in Congress, one State Senator, and, at different times,
nearly a score of Assemblymen. It has five or six judges and several school
commissioners and a whole army of teachers. Besides the hundreds of its
regular graduates, it has sent not less than 250 young men to college and pro-
fessional schools.
In 1862 Union College conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon
Professor King, and in 1873 the Regents of the University of New York, in
recognition of his efficiency as an educator, conferred upon him the degree of
Ph.D.
In the discharge of his duties as principal of Fort Edward Institute, he
has lectured before the faculty and students over 300 times, and has found
leisure to deliver, outside the walls of the Institute, 210 lectures and addresses,
besides having preached 1,032 sermons in 182 different pulpits. From the
sessions of the conference of clergymen, of which he is a member, he has never
been absent for a day. In 1864 he was elected by his brethren a delegate to
the General Conference of the M. E. church, at Philadelphia; having also en-
joyed the honor of serving as a delegate to the general Conference of 1856,
representing the Vermont Conference, from which he was transferred to the
Troy conference, on a vote of that conference requesting it. For two weeks
he served as Acting Delegate in the General Conference at Chicago, in 1868.
Once he has been called upon to address the alumni of his college, once to
deliver the oration before the convention of Psi Upsilon — his college
fraternity, and twice to deliver the annual poem at Psi Upsilon conventions.

Silas Olmsted probably resided in Norwalk, Conn., until after 1805, for
his first son, and only child by his first wife, was born in that city. He began
life as a poor boy ; was a ship carpenter by trade, but soon abandoned that for
the grocery business in New York City. By hard work, business sagacity and
careful economy, he gained the then unusually large fortune of between a
quarter and a half million dollars. As is so often the case, there was
disagreement among the heirs, the will was contested, and when, after
many years, the case was finally arbitrated, the lawyers had made their
fortunes, and many of the heirs had lost theirs. Mr. Olmsted was a just
man in his business dealings, giving good weight and measure, paying
every cent that he owed, and exacting the same from others. For this reason,
some thought him a hard man to deal with. He was not a demonstrative
man, nor even affectionate, some thought, but he was always fond of children.
He belonged to the Episcopal Church, as did his daughter Elizabeth. As a
young man he was about five feet, eight inches in height, good-looking, with
a clear blue eye, light hair, clear skin and red cheeks. As he grew older, his
frame became heavy, though he was never corpulent. In 1848, he removed
from New York City to Tarrytown, N. Y., where he spent the remainder of
his' life. His second wife, Nancy Westervelt, had dark hair and brown eyes.
She was rather a severe looking woman, and a great worker. Out of eighteen
births, she only reared eight of her children. She was a member of the Baptist
Church; descended from one of the early Dutch settlers, Lubbert Lubbertsen
Van Westervelt and his wife Geesie Roeloffe. He was born in 1620, and came
with his brother Willem and their families from Meppel, province Dreuth,
Holland, in the ship Hope, in April, 1662; settled in Bergen County, N.
Sixth Generation 229
Jersey. Casparus Westervelt, father of Jane, was born at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., 175j»; d. 1836. Silas Olmsted was the first "Olmsted" in the
New York City Directory.

Zalmon Olmsted was in all his characteristics a striking type of the
Norseman — six feet in height, erect, and muscular, no way inclined to corpu-
lence, weighing about 180 pounds, flaxen hair (light brown), fair complexion,
of extraordinary physical strength; fearless in what he conceived to be right,
firm in the discharge of duty, of good judgment and strictest integrity, re-
spected and trusted in every relation of life — he was in the day of that political
distinction a pronounced Federalist and rhember of the " Cincinnati." He
invariably declined office but was for many years School Inspector and Com-
missioner, takihg an active part in every movement for the advancement of
learning and religion.
At three years of age his father moved to Stillwater (now Malta), Sara-
toga County, N. Y. Later he removed to Moreau in the same county. His
farm of 800 acres lay on the west bank of the Hudson River, about three miles
south of Fort Edward. Here he died, Dec. 6, 1853, and lies buried in the
family ground on the farm.
Rebecca, his widow, continued to live on the same farm until her death,
Sept. 27, 1861, and was buried by the side of her husband.

Extract from an obituary notice in the EDisville, Kentucky, Journal:
" A man of extraordinary talent, one of a rare few who have learned the
art of growing old gracefully."
" Though residing with those who had embarked the scions of their house
and every life-hope upon the success or failvure of the Confederacy, he never
even momentarily wavered from what he considered his duty, and this was a
staunch and devoted love for the Union and the Constitution."

The Ferris family were of Connecticut origin, but moved over the line
into Salem, Westchester County, N. Y. at an early date. Sylvanus Ferris
came to Herkimer County, N. Y., in 1797, in a two-wheeled vehicle. Mrs.
Ferris was a model woman for pioneer life. Her husband was clear-headed
and sagacious, and possessed a high order of business talent. Success seemed
to attend all his ventures. His large family was carefully reared and well
educated for the time in which they lived. The parents were staunch Presby-
Sixth Generation 239
terians, and inculcated habits of industry, economy and morality. Mr. Ferris
moved to Russia, Herkimer County, N. Y., in 1830. In 1834, he became
interested in a scheme to purchase lands, found a colony and build a College
in the Mississippi Valley, whither the tide of emigration was then turning.
The original mover in the project was Rev. George W. Gale, a Presbyterian
clergyman, and cousin of Mrs. Ferris. A company was formed, stock sub-
scribed, and a committee appointed to purchase lands. Ferris was one of this
committee In 1835 he made an extended tour through the unsettled portion
of Illinois. The location selected was Knox County. This choice of land was
fortunate, and some 15,000 acres were secured at government price. Mr.
Ferris became a m,an of wealth. He gave in his will $100,000 to the Home
Missionary Society of his Church, and a like sum to the American Bible So-
ciety. His last vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln. — From the Norway,

Until twenty years of age Phineas P. Olmsted continued to make his home
with his parents, attending the common schools, and received practical in-
struction on his father's farm in the duties pertaining to agriculture. Starting
for the West he worked at different points in order to obtain money to con-
tinue his journey, and for a time was employed at Madison, Wis. From
there he proceeded to Grant County, thence to Prairie du Chien, in which
place he resided until April 1st, 1840. Near Patch Grove, Wis., he taught
school for three months, when he learned that the government had commenced
building Ft. Atkinson on the Turkey River, and in company with his brother
he went there to look the country over. This brother and he soon selected a
claim in what is now Monona Township, and the two were the first to settle
within its limits. They built a cabin in July, 1840, and kept house in primitive
fashion, often entertaining travelers, and also Indians. At that time there
were about two hundred red men in the township, who were known as the
Whirling Thunder Band. At one time when the cabin was only partially
constructed, the brother of our subject was obliged to go on business to Wis-
consin, and during his absence about eight Indians came to beg for food;
young Phineas gave them what he could, for his supplies were at a low ebb,
but it was evident that the red men were not satisfied, as they kept looking
aroimd in all corners for more. Seeing a knife in the hand of a murderous-
242 Olmsted Family Genealogy
looking brave concealed under his blanket, he knew at once that trouble
was brewing and as he had no other weapon handy, he picked up an axe and
spoke in a loud voice, commanding the Indians to begone. After looking at
him for a moment, rather to his surprise they left, and this was the only time
in his eight years of experience with the Indians that he believed they meant
him personal harm.
In the spring of 1841 the brothers sold their claim and removed to the
present site of Monona, where they each took up land. Phineas P. Olmsted
built a log house, the first one in Monona, and in 1849 with a nephew started
the first general store in the town.' The same year a post-ofl5ce was established
here, our subject being the first Postmaster, being appointed under Taylor's
administration. At the end of three years he resigned, locating on the place
where he resided up to the time of his death. At various times he owned
several farms and has given to his children about three hundred and thirty
acres, still retaining a property of about the same area.
Mr. Olmsted served in various official capacities. In 1841 he was first
elected Justice of the Peace, serving as such for twelve years, and in 1842 he
built the first frame house in Monona village, and in 1860 was made County
Supervisor, holding that place for sixteen years. In 1865 he was elected on
the Republican ticket as County Representative in the Legislature and has
filled various minor positions.
Identified with the interests of Monona for upwards of forty years, the
founder of the town, building the first frame house and setting in motion
the arts of trade, there is no one of the old settlers whose death wiU be more
generally or more sincerely regretted. He was a good man, honest and up-
right with his fellow-men, a firm and true friend, who was kind, considerate
and benevolent, following a simplicity of life that was replete with good works.
In whatever public positions he held the duty performed was thorough
and painstaking and he served the people on the same lines that he conducted
his own personal affairs; his influence and his labor were for the best interests
of the community, with a desire to promote that which he deemed of special
value and service to the people.

The Rochester Union, in writing up the history of the " oldest inhabi-
tants " of Monroe Coimty, awards the prize to the venerable Harry Olmsted,
who emigrated from Connecticut with his father, to Genesee County, in 1794,
he being then eight years old. Mr. Olmsted now resides in the town of Greece,,
and is 72 years of age, still active and vigorous. The following script was
received by Mr. Olmsted from Eli Granger in 1799, in payment for an ox.
The payment was made in Onondaga salt, and the quantity which he gave
for the ox could now be purchased for $4. Salt has fallen in value since those
days, while cattle are, perhaps, somewhat dearer:
Northampton, 4th April, 1799.
For value rec'd, I promise to pay Jeremiah Olmsted, or order, three barrels-
of good merchantable Onondaga salt, each barrel to contain five bushels, and
fifty-six pounds to the bushel. Said salt to be delivered at the landing below
Genesee Falls, in the Month of June next.
Witness my hand: Eli Granger.

cheerful example were the means of saving his crew from starvation, and of
their final delivery. He was finally wrecked on the coast of Morocco.

" The winter that I was six years old my father Eliphalet, and brother,
Stephen, went to a nearby field to get some dry wood for kindling from some
pine stumps and while there father dropped dead. A few years after his death
my mother married Jacob Handy and lived at Corinth, where she died in March,
1867. During the time she lived with Jacob Handy his house was destroyed
by fire and my father's Bible and records were burned at that time. In 1849
my brother, Eleazer, visited my mother but I, being away at work, did not
see him. Late in the fall of 1850 I decided to go West and see my brother
Eleazer, then living near Jefferson, N. Y. (now Watkins). When I reached
his home we certainly did not know each other as he was married and gone
before I was born, and we had never seen each other. I stayed with him dur-
ing that winter, and the next summer (1851) I worked in Reading, now in
Schuyler County, for a man named Chapman. In the fall I returned to Sara-
toga County and was married Jan. 1, 1852. As I did not get my pay from Mr.
ChapmanT went back in the summer of 1852 to collect the same and it was the
last I saw of my brother Eleazer." — From a private letter.

Cayuga, N. Y.
Lucius F. Olmsted was born at Benson, Vermont, March 10th, 1796.
His mother died when he was but two years of age, and at the age of eight he
removed to Shelborn, in the same State, where during his stay he worked
summers and went to school winters, thus not only supporting himself but
securing an education which fitted him for the occupation of school teaching.
In the spring of 1814 he removed to Cayuga Bridge, N. Y., and resded there
until April, 1835. March 9, 1822, he was married to Emeline Willard of that
place, and they lived happily together for nearly fifty years, she surviving him
and mourning his departure. Mr. Olmsted was converted under the preach-
ing of Rev. Medad Pomeroy, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church
from the year 1830, and has since that time been a subscriber to The Evan-
gelist. In April, 1835, he removed to Lakeville, Livingston County, residing
there until the spring of 1858, when he made his home at Geneseo. Since I
have known him he has been a member of the 2d Presbyterian Church of this
place and one of its chief pecuniary supporters. He always gave liberally for
the support of the Gospel at home and abroad and when called upon for his
own Church support, always said, " Put me down for one-tenth of what you
need." — From private letter.
